the mountains of moray?

Postby greywolf » Wed Jun 12, 2013 11:54 pm

thought i'd have a look at the S6Days programme and start thinking about which days/courses i might run. slightly surprised to see that M21E have 8.9km / 380m climb on day 5, especially as according to the OS the maximum elevation at Roseisle is 21m...maybe the army have been building a secret mountain range :D

I was a little surprised and a tad gutted to find out that M35L is actually same course as M21L, and M20L... so much for getting a break as we get older! :shock:

But it will have a shorter winning time, so that's alright then :lol:

notwithstanding the unexpected orogenesis at Roseisle, if (as the programme implies) Lossie is the slowest forest being used then the others, including the new areas, are going to be seriously quick :)

Hmmmmm - methinks some possible differences in course winning times.

Like "urban" orienteering in the rides of Auchengarrich?

Freefall, I think you have just explained why I can't cope with Auchengarrich - I don't like/do Urban O!

Exactly what my chauffeur and I thought, except that that occasionally it was a trifle more difficult to decide if you were running along the road or the leylandii beside it.

That did cross my mind for a moment, then I thought 'No... you can't downgrade your entry, just man up!'
