Freeeezing !

We were all planning to head off the Tentsmuir Forest this morning but one by one the cold or aches and pains desuaded everyone except Colin. Colin had a good run coming in 10th place on the Blue course. A few stupid mistakes or it could have been quite a bit better. Very cold but beautiful clear skys and lovely frost everywhere.

East of Scotland Orienteering Championships

We headed off to Penicuik estate on a freezing cold Sunday morning. Hannah successfully defended her W10 championship on the yellow course. Did very well to get round without shadowing and is the first person to win the trophy three times in a row. She'll be up a class next year.

Max had a bad one. Colin was non-competitive and missed a couple of controls.

Delhi

In Delhi on business for an Asia Pacific Actuarial Conference. Had a tour round the city on Monday. Temperatures are fairly pleasant but a thick smog throughout the day. You can feel yourself coughing on the fumes. The streets very busy - nothing compared to Mumbai I'm told. Chaotic roads with bicycles, rickshaws, three wheel taxis, oxen, elephants, cars and lots of 50 yr old buses. Had a walk round some more tranquil gardens.

The Bridges

We had some fantastic weather for a family walk with Les from Dalmeny Station through South Queensferry over the Road Bridge and through to North Queensferry. We then got the train back over the rail bridge to our start. Glorious blue skys crisp clear air.

Got some very nice photos. Click through to Web Albums to view full screen slideshow.
