you got back quickly, when did you start becuase i didn't see you there at all.
um i did ok, not great but not bad. didn't have any major mistakes but quite a few of the controls were messy and i went to number 10 before number 9
impressed that theyve managed to get the results up already! considering the weather the organisation was very good.
wind was awful but i enjoyed the day!!

No, not much fun 4 me either. Wasnt the controls really just the goddamn illnesses and just toally couldn't get myself to run at any real pcae. I either walked or i ran in spurts. Pretty lame really.
Anyone drop their map? Woah that wasnt too fun. Was just refolding my map after the long leg to 5 and a 'freak' gust whipped it outta my hand n sent me absolutely nailin it for 150 metres through this heather till i could dive onto it. Entertainment for the watching.
Thought the forest was quite nice tho no 3 gave me a bit of trouble.

i had an absolutely terrible run i wouldv retired but it was quicker to go back on my course than go back 2 the start. i was 21st, and loadsa ppl beat me who i usually beat by miles. altho i was out in the worst of the weather!!! (very late start when the wind was at its worst). by the time i started my feet were almost totally numb and when i was running i couldnt feel my feet - very strange! did u lot get the bus 2 the start coz i did but loadsa ppl didnt kno about it and had to walk. also did u get medals 4 finishing coz i did but a lot of ppl didnt even tho they were 4 all u20s that completed their course!
and jo - no im not home im on the net at my YH, costs 50p 4 10 mins or so.

i think the wind was very bad whenever you started - however when it was getting to the latest starts the rain actually stopped for a bit and there was a bit of sunshine (only for a minute though!) because i was in by then and it was quite amazing!
i was on the minibus ready to go but then the driver went off somewhere, left the engine running and after a bit i figured i'd be late for my start and so ran up from there!

i think i win with cock-ups, spent 36 mins on one control couldnt relocate cuz im an idiot at the best of times let alone with my map flying half way across the moors! found a river that wasnt supposed to be there, didnt stop to think i might have been in the wrong place, i mean of course the rain caused it!! hmm... not too sure orienteering is the sport for me! and i didnt get a medal not very fair really!
