50 years ago today I took part in my first #orienteering event in a horrible bramble jungle in Somerset. The event was put on by Millfield School and IIRC they timed us with Smiths lab clocks. Tonight I did one of #Interlopers night Maprun courses at Prestonfield. Fell over and probably ended up as muddy as I did in 1974. No blood lost this time though. I feel sooooo old.

It was a Street Series event using MapRun this evening in Taunton (Hankridge). Freezing 🥶 (I kept thinking I had dropped my compass as my thumb tip was numb). Pretty happy with my route and execution, although I had one moment where I lost concentration and went down the wrong turn losing a few minutes.
