Another great little orienteering event on Sat morning, organised by the NATO team, and very local too - Prudhoe East. I helped the girls get round the yellow course in lovely muddy conditions! We managed to get the best of the weather as the sleet kindly stopped whilst where we were out with our map. Great excitement today as it was the punch-type controls which Cutie tried to work out what patterns the punches were making at every control!! Some ambitious navigating (!?!) saw us cut through the woods and off the path, following a straight line to control 4. The slight uphill was no surprise but the abrupt end to the rise and the rather too steep for tiny legs downhill meant that we had to side-step a bit to find a safer descent. So Joe was correct "contours are crucial"!
We successfully found all of our controls, brought home our fair share of mud and got some more points in the league.
Following on from this, an uncharacteristic baking session resulted in a yummy banana loaf which should provide a bit of energy for more half term fun 😋
