Weekend 23 and 24/09/06

Phoenix Long O orienteering weekend
Day 1 C class - 10ish miles / 2340 feet
10th place - 2hrs 38mins 58secs

Came down with the lurgy after the Peris/Dalehead efforts and dropped down from A to C class.
Day one was good, despite the expected nav clangers.
Beat ace navigators Mark and John Denmark and should have been nearer to Andy Lewsley if I'd made some better choices.
Day one's wall to wall sunshine gave way to heavy overnight rain and low clag on Sunday.
Me and Steve didn't need any more excuses and canned day 2, opting for tea and light reading in the dry of Steve's pride and joy (VW van).
Mark gamely got round, determined but moist.
