Tweed Valley Mountain Bike Orienteering

Third MTBO event of the year. Starting at the Cardrona Forestry Commission car park where the same event started last year. Made the decision to start on the easy low controls and to avoid Glentress with a final homeward section on the Gypsy Glen trail. The low stuff was certainly a good plan although the Gypsy Glen trail was very slow as it reached very high ground on rough trails with widely spaced controls. Finished 7th overall which was pretty decent.

1 km long railway tunnel between two of the controls. Made it in 20 metres before deciding NO. Just NO. No way ! Longer alternative route above ground.
