\"\"<\/a>The Crying Mile \u2013 17 controls, 1.4 km, 1:1500 map –\u00a0and, yes, it made me cry. Well, scream, shout and bang the handlebars….<\/p>\n

I started and immediately made a mistake, getting confused and thinking the map was a smaller scale than it was while\u00a0traversing the first valley, and before I knew it, I was misplaced. Misplaced then became completely lost as I now know I rode off the map. Not just a little ride off the map but a huge one. Eventually admitting defeat I just turned North and headed on a safety bearing to try and find a road and perhaps get back to the car park.<\/p>\n

From the car park I had another go at number one and bounced around the map until I eventually got my eye in and I was then away picking off the controls in grand style<\/a>. My time for the first split: 16 minutes, my time for the rest of the course: 14 minutes \u2013 what a Muppet….<\/p>\n

The Crying Mile was fantastic training, but the tracks were very\u00a0indistinct and \"\"<\/a>everything came up so fast that people were all over the place….<\/p>\n

One to put down to experience I think, and I won’t be the only one – I didn’t have the slowest split to number 1, and I wasn’t last!<\/p>\n

The forest was amazing and chatting to Per and Maria who live locally they have training packs for clubs to come and use, one for Chasers to consider for a club trip, me thinks.<\/p>\n

Results here \u2013 just look down almost at\u00a0the bottom for the Muppet.<\/p>\n
