As a family, we tried out Orienteering this weekend, just doing a short and easy course as a family sharing the map reading and dibbing. Luckily it was set up in Withdean Park, a place we often take the dog, so we had a bit of an idea of the geography of the place.
And the results were:
We came 16th on the Orange course, which feels good when we were very much feeling our way.
I really enjoyed it and want to do more.
Excellent timing. This year the spring Low Tide Sunrise Bike Ride is going to be on my birthday, April 8. What better way to start a birthday than rising at dawn and riding along the sea bed. Perfect.
[Update: 7 April: not doing it this year now. Been a bit crook for a few days, and think it is pretty mad to do it and make myself sicker. Sigh. The last one was such fun.
But, rising at dawn is still possible. What shall I do with myself?]
