We made the decision to make a weekend of the Northern Championships this weekend, turned out to be a pretty good one with a good sprint around Leazes Park and St James’ Park on Saturday and a nice long run around the open heathery moorland of Ray Demesne today!
Results for both are on the NATO website.
Yesterday I ran the Men’s course, it was a good test of navigation while being able to run fast, and a maze. The maze was a bit annoying as we had been told not to cross anything that was taped, but one of the open bits on the map was taped! Bit of a controller/planner fail there, but otherwise enjoyable. I came 24th, behind Andrew L again, going to have to do something about that!

Today I ran the M21E course (prima donna!). Had a good run with only an annoying route choice error at 7 and a few little wobbles elsewhere. On leaving the field I was not surprisingly last (4/4) but that was always going to be the case.
