Friday 6th June TDT, I was taking compass bearings for the ordinance survey by an army training CP on Salisbury plain. I had packed up my theodolite ,was calling it a day when a voice was heard to sing a sad refrain.

ElspethF 6 Jun 10:58am, 6 Jun 2025 494 posts	Quote Pin ElspethF Hope you're having a restful day Hazel! You'll likely be finished before I start at 9am tomorrow. I'm not racing as such, it's a run or walk eventually and I'm not sure how it'll be after a night of cold camping and I don't want to fall again or get lost on the new course....I knew the old one! Have also just entered another event in 3 weeks, it's a LDWA event ,36 miles across the narrowest bit of north Scotland from Ullapool to Ardgay, new this year. I discovered pre COVID that I can't navigate and run at the same time so will mainly be walking . I had an ignominious dnf in 2019 in one of their 50m events mainly because I'd discovered that I couldn't run and navigate at the same time and a long stretch in the dark through woods was ahead. There were only about 15 folk entered so couldn't really stick with anyone else so dropped out at a point where I could get a bus back to base. Kicked myself afterwards but then there was an incident a few weeks after where 3 elderly folk were attacked in same woods. Sadly 2 of them died. Much calmer rest of morning it's a slow but scenic train trip to Inverness.
