I still pop in to YouTube on occasion and there's a guy I really enjoy. Technically, its orienteering skills channel and in that regard it has good content. But I watch it mostly because it enjoy it when he "waffles on", i.e. goes of on a tangent. He often turns these waffles into their own video. Today's gem "How to put a hat on", . Look for the waffle withing the waffle about 3 minutes in. Enjoy

Tuesday sees the final park O in the London summer series. Clapham Common, so not far from me. Will local knowledge help me to level up my fairly lamentable results in the previous races I hope so, but at the end of the day it's all been fun. Happy to have rediscovered this sport after 45 years.
On our way to O-ringen. first longer trip with our new Kia EV6 and also pulling our carvan.

At recent weekend events there were bottles of water at the finish because of the heat. Today's race in Lincoln was sponsored by Walkers, so there were boxes of crisps instead. Not quite as thirst-quenching

Well I'm not getting any better at this Lanequest malarkey in terms of planning any kind of high point-scoring route, but it's been a good excuse to ride new lanes each and every week.
I'm immensely proud of the West Anglian Orienteering Club (WAOC) junior squad for winning the national inter-club junior final yesterday. As club chairman, I have to pay tribute to the current captain, junior captain and coaches, but this has been a long time in the making, so all previous chairs, captains and coaches must also be thanked.
Go WAOC!

A second attempt at Lanequest this evening. Planned to get 21 controls. Ended up with 18. But then was so late back (11 minutes, thanks amongst other excuses to a dropping chain) that I think Ill effectively have lost 4 of those.

Something new this evening: Lanequest, which is a local series. Made some rookie errors in route choice, but did ok, made it back with a minute to spare, and it was a fun way to spend a couple of hours working head and legs.
I'm East Anglian champion for the 2nd year running!
Going to be a hot East Anglian Championships race today. I'm hoping for a lot of tree cover overhead. Luckily my watch claims I'm in prime condition and ready for action
Wednesday night's punt was fun. Pretty unique to too (they do canoe orienteering in York - that's probably not quite as social though)
Go out as a solo or duo team, during 6 hours in search of as many checkpoints as possible.
All checkpoints are marked on a topographic map. Every checkpoint found contributes to your score in the final ranking. Along the way, you run or hike along trails of your own choice.
This was yesterday, 6 hours of fun. And afterwards we got a medaille, life is better while orienteering.

Done that thing during race today... having had physio for damaged hip and knee on one side and been careful for months, compensating with other side means I tore hamstring while lamping up an earthwall at the Grand Festival Of Earthwall Lamping (not it's real name, but should be).

I was prevented from using my new kit collection at the Roehampton park event this week, owing to doctor's orders. So my new club top, jacket and dibber will have to wait until next Tuesday. That one's in Morden Hall Park, so it should be scenic.

Did my first 'park O' (park ) event of the London summer series yesterday. Waterlow Park, Archway. Nice place. I'd hoped to drop in on Karl Marx at Highgate Cemetery, next door, but he'd turned in for the night.
