Went to New Echota today because they were doing an "orienteering 101" class. Started with finding my pace, then how to navigate using a compass, just bearing+direction. I'm the first person to have successfully completed the course since they revamped it this year!

I did struggle some, though, because the loaner compasses they had donated are terrible and require you to tap on them a bunch to get them to actually turn north properly. It was neat even though i was the only one to show up for it, and didn't think to wear pants... We went off the trails into the tall grass, so that would have been nice.

Today it was #orienteering time again. This time it was with my glasses. Am I getting old ?

Did my first 'park O' (park #orienteering) event of the London summer series yesterday. Waterlow Park, Archway. Nice place. I'd hoped to drop in on Karl Marx at Highgate Cemetery, next door, but he'd turned in for the night.

Street #orienteering event this evening in Bethnal Green, E London. As it doesn't get dark now until about 9pm, no need for a head torch, thankfully. Aim will be to beat my friend, and friendly rival, Paul. I'm quicker than him, but he's been known to out-navigate me.

Here's a test of magnanimity. Your son beats you at #orienteering on his first attempt at the sport. He does much better than you thought he would, even taking account of his faster running. What do you feel? Damn, he beat me, or, what a great achievement, what's not to celebrate? I managed the latter - just!
