Today was officially the longest course I have ever run (discounting the Capricorn Mountain Marathon.) It was 14.4km straight line distance- I am yet to measure the actual distance I ran. This special event is run once a year by South Ribble Orienteering Club as a tribute to Tim Watkins who worked hard to bring this event to Britain from Scandinavia. See

After completing the C class in 3 hours 10 minutes (25th of 44 starters) I can't wait to have another go next year (hopefully with none of the limestone pavement that made up this years area!)
Below is a small extract of my course (I couldn't scan the whole thing as it was A3);
