Glasgow 3 Parks

The 3 Parks Champs has moved to the summer and what a good decision that was ! No more sitting about in the freezing cold between races.

The first race this year was at Cathkin Braes which has been the site of many orienteering disasters. I headed out taking great care and this seemed to pay off with a pretty much error free run and a much better than expected ranking after the first round.

Race 2 moved on to Queens Park which should have been easy but I had a number or careless mistakes early on and then lost contact with the map twice in the middle of the course. Dropped several places down the rankings.

Race 3 was a Pollok Country Park and went very wrong in the forest section with an easy control taking 8 minutes of wandering around to locate.

All great fun but a poor performance in the end.
