Maybe, apart from the stock picture of OS map and compass.
BTW, good luck Kris!

Re: Kris Jones article
From Kris's web page:
"Selection to the British team for the 10,000m European Cup in Minsk was a dream come true and was just another way I surpassed my own expectations in what could be considered my first real ‘season’ of track running.
Unfortunately, whilst the selection was a dream, the race was anything but.
Not even 4 laps into the 25, my calf tightened to the point that each step sent a jolt of pain through my lower leg. I tried to give it a chance to ease off, but there isn’t much that can be done when you are running in spikes on a hard track. You need your calves, no getting around it. A lap later, each step a little worse than the last, I stopped and walked off the track."
What tough luck.

I particularly like the fact that the compass user hadn't even oriented themselves for the picture
