Category: Orienteering
Competitive rushing around between various checkpoints across rough country with the aid of a map and compass!
We spent the weekend orienteering.
The Rab MM is getting closer and we are getting more and more apprehensive - what fools we are to have ever taken up the gauntlet laid down by Rachel and Richard! Anyway, we train on in some hope that we can at least finnish the event...
With the Rab Mountain Marathon getting scarily close and our lack of running fitness becoming a real worry we thought we'd try a fell-run with a bit more ground to cover, and a lot more elevation to tackle ...
In another of our increasingly vain attempts to prepare for the Rab MM later this year Laetitia and I went for another run today...
I find running to be very hard to motivate myself for - it's such hard work - I have to add an extra incentive, Letterbox treasure...
We had glorious weather in the Lakes yesterday evening so we took full advantage of it and went for a run, found another Lakeland letterbox, and then enjoyed a pub-dinner at the Mortal Man in Troutbeck...
.... Springtime in Shropshire
It was forecasted to be very wet on Saturday, so we knew we wouldn't be out climbing. We decided we should take advantage of the non-climbing weather and get in some more running training. To entertain us we thought we'd combine the running with a little letter boxing - good practice for navigating while running.
The Spanish weather continues!
