Devon Orienteering Club hosted this event at Princetown and I decided to run the Brown Course which was 7.5km 190m Climb. This section of the moor is pretty heavy going so I set about trying keep a stead pace that I could maintain over a large amount of the course. On the whole this worked and I was happy with my time of 65:13. Overall I had a very clean run hitting most of the controls bang on, although possibly a little under confident on #4 and #11. The early starters had the bonus of some low cloud to add to the challenge, I was disappointed to miss out on this extra challenge.

I saw some of you folks trotting about in the clag. Did you spot a baldie bloke in shorts with a collie(not in shorts)?
I started a bit later when the clag had lifted, you should come and join us sometime, test those fine nav skills!!
I bumped into the organiser who was out checking that morning and was saying that. Looks like a good event.
