M21L at Gummer's How and Blakeholme. Awesome area and course!!!
Plan was again to go out and have fun, so deliberately didn't push too hard. First bit in the green was fun and super challenging (if a bit sore on my back). Usually I am all over the place in this kind of stuff, so after a 3 minute mistake on 1, I was super pleased to make it 6 clean.
Into Blakeholme. Oh my. What a awesome area!!!! Technical and just grassy underfoot. Some of the best Orienteering I have seen in the UK... +10s on 7, +20s on 8, +60s on 11. Was thoroughly enjoying Blakeholme and approached 14 eating some Tesco imitation Jelly Babies. +60s on 15 where I confused myself, +45s on 17. Then back into the green, where I was clean again! Caught Keith at 24 and then picked what I think was the best route to 26 (around to the East on the paths). Easy enough into the finish. Thoroughly enjoyed that. A course of such contrast with so many different types of area, deserved your attention all the way around. Loved it.
In terms of mistakes, same theme as yesterday, compass mid and entering control, slow down in the circle to pick up the detail.
