Moncreiffe Hill - Orienteering and MTB

One of the great things about orienteering is the places it takes you to that you would otherwise never visit. I've driven so many times past this hill just before Perth to the right of the Motorway. It's a really nice and well looked after area with nice paths, a few old hill forts and decent views. The orienteering was hot and hard with the summer growth making finding the controls a bit more difficult. Lots of nettles as well. Got round pretty successfully for a 5th Place on the green course.

Afterwards got on my bike and headed back up to the top of the hill.

Followed my nose for a while which eventually took me down the South side of the hill and into the flat flood plain area that is surrounded by the Tay, the Earn and the M90. Managed to find a route through the confluence of the two rivers.

Would have been nice to do a circular route but the riverside track started to look even more unwelcoming so headed back and then onwards to the event car park.

A nice steak out for Cherry, Max and Colin at Kyloe later in the evening.
