Mint and spriddle

[graeme]

Two really fun events this weekend in the sunshine down south. Many thanks to the organisers for finding two nice areas and planning great courses to make best use of the terrain there.
I was expecting one day of relentlessly technical orienteering requiring constant concentration and careful mapreading. And I was expecting a day trying to hold it together while running flat out round a TD3 course. Which is exactly what we got

Though not on the advertised days?

That may be a tad harsh on the middle Graeme - apart from the specator bit at the end I thought it was quite demanding of concentration, if not as physical as Coille Nathais . Daresay you were following my tracks though...

I though Graeme was implying he expected technical on the Sprint and flat out TD3 on the Middle, but actually got the TD3 on the Sprint and technical on the Middle.
I agree the butterfly at the end of the Middle was easier; just wish I hadn't lost concentration earlier than that.

Not if I know Graeme's sense of humour...

Any ideas when the EBOR Routegadget page will let me put my routes up ?

I suspect that the error-strewn routes of several regular stars will show that the Middle courses could not reasonably be described as Orange.
