EUOC Big Weekend

Colin was out running on Saturday and Sunday on one of the best orienteering weekends of the year. Saturday was the city race through Edinburgh Old Town and South Side. Pretty poor navigation led to a fairly low placing. Better result on Sunday in Holyrood park coming 15th in a big field on Blue.

Hannah won her football on Saturday and she and Cherry ran the yellow on Sunday.

Max was laid low by a cold.

SOSOL 4 - Drumpellier Park

We all headed out to Coatbridge and Drumpellier Park for a cold and windy morning at what was probably quite a nice park on a warmer day. Max had a reasonable run on Light Green coming 15th of 23. Colin was 13th of 37 on Blue. Hannah was 5th of 9 on yellow. Max had a very good run-in coming fastest in his class and beating Colin by 8 seconds.

Ratho

Colin took Hannah to the climbing wall at Ratho on Sunday. It was very busy due to the horrible weather outside.

On Saturday Colin & Cherry had a nice dinner, with the kids!, at Toast.
