You cannot imagine how elated I am that course setting software now does not only run on my desktop using the current version but even on the laptop where the same procedure never worked, now using .
The fonts are still an issue, but that will sort itself out in time.
That was the last reason to keep on one laptop!!!
Tre veckor till i Nynshamn, knner mig inte riktigt mentalt redo

When the course cuts across the pitch. Wait, what country am I in again
Easter Saturday, which means, among other things, day 2 of international races. Very tough physically despite being middle distance discipline, steep and very sinky soggy.
There is development happening
question for peeps:
I keep seeing explainer vids that say you should look up magnetic declination for a map online and then adjust the compass, but it seems like you could just align the map and compass meridians, then adjust the box to match magnetic north.
am I wrong is that bad practice
OrienteeringStep 1) Revisit s novel Thud
Step 2) Go on an unseasonably warm day in a New England forest full of boulders
Step 3) Wonder why you keep thinking about Koom Valley
Fittingly, I was attacked by neither trolls nor dwarves, only the landscape.
I'm trying to make a reader (a static feed aggregator site on GitHub) with feeds from news around the web -- So far it seems to work! Thanks
I love

I want to say thanks to the person from Germany who got some of my designs: I hope you enjoy them!
Drizzly but not too cold for some winter in New England.
9-10: dead reckon or follow the trails (I chose the former and that rocky slope was a little more exciting than I expected. Would the trail north have been better Who knows)
To be clear: picture is not from the 10th leg!
Maybe it is time to reveal that there will be something BIG for Control app this year. Probably summer. So big that I will bump the version numbers to 4.0 on iOS and 2.0 on Android. But not going to tell you just yet what. Also there will be a first proper public beta since the app launched back in the day. Stay tuned...

The scale on the map is important. Unless you *like* running right by an interesting feature without realizing its your next control. And then spending 10 minutes wondering what the hell is going on.
First time Ive tried truly winter . Slow but fun* and wonderfully peaceful.
Did not encounter any friendly talking beavers or Jesus-lions. But other than that, five stars, would recommend.
* Well, ok, it was more fun when I paid attention to the scale of the map. But that was just me being stupid, nothing to do with winter.
A great story on orienteering and spatial memory and its connection to success in STEM disciplines:
More pics from Beacon Hill today. The thick mist was fantastic challenge in the early morning, but it lifted to sunshine.
Favourite control site hung ready for league race tomorrow morning. It's not even hidden by brambles. Enjoy ) (Several more to do before sunrise).
The route comparison feature in starts to take form. Select any control-control interval and swipe left/right to compare. There are some small issues still but I think this is close to a release!
The kind of objects I take home from the when I go off the tracks. Reminder that is an environmental and responsible sport, and we won't save nature by alienating people from it and putting unnecessary restrictions on access. Time spent on meaningful activities in one's surroundings is time lost to overconsumption.
Ik vind het verbazend dat kaartlezen en kompas gebruiken tegenwoordig wordt voorgesteld als een haast bovennatuurlijke vaardigheid waar je twintig doctoraten voor moet behaald hebben. Terwijl we dat vroeger als kind gewoon bij de scouts leerden en nadien perfectioneerden tijdens de legerdienst.
50 years ago today I took part in my first event in a horrible bramble jungle in Somerset. The event was put on by Millfield School and IIRC they timed us with Smiths lab clocks. Tonight I did one of night Maprun courses at Prestonfield. Fell over and probably ended up as muddy as I did in 1974. No blood lost this time though. I feel sooooo old.
Lovely course racing the Robin Hood trophy today at Sherwood, reminded me of my first time here as an M19 in the mid 90s, when I ran bunch further, but in less time. My knees are going to give it what-for all week now.

Still stuck with the route compare feature. But there is slow progress! You can view separate control intervals with two tracks side-by-side like this. Very much inspired by Livelox Duel.
Tried again in Santander, it was great.
Work on route comparison feature continues. Now I can layout two separate routes on top of my custom image. Next up, the UI to make the actual analysis... Also, the routes are a bit off but I think I need to let the user do the final adjustments in this case.

Pro tip for : if your coach says: "In this special type of training you get an ordinary map but the controls can be either correct, missing or in the wrong place," do not ask "so what is special about the training"
Today was my first experience of a Snooker O event! Such a (tiring) amount of fun.
After the cancellation of my forest event in January, I have turned my eye to the next event I am planning, a street event. Just did a 10km jog with the dog to check the map - lots of juicy cut throughs.
Common 1977.
Dave Trulcok . Used for the British Relay Championships and printed on Tyvek, the stuff used for scene of crime suits and house walls.
Frustratingly the event I was planning in early January has been cancelled as permissions have been declined Spent 4 hours this afternoon collecting in all the tape marking the control sites.
