Hatfield Forest SOS Regional Event, 18 September

Wednesday, September 28th, 2005

The forest is very nice to run in - a 1000 year old forest with very wide rides seperating pockets of varying runnability and visibility. Although some sections were rather “scraggly” and unpleasant, there were some great sections, especially near the end, with grand old trees and little vegetation for late summer.
Ran the M21S course, [...]

x-England Part 5

Monday, September 26th, 2005

Another short-ish section (30 miles) of my Cross-England bike ride completed on Sunday afternoon. It’s really starting to get dark early these days - the light is fading after 7pm. The original plan was to go all the way to Sittingbourne, but with no trains running that far, I scaled back my plans, and eventually [...]

X-England Part 4

Sunday, September 18th, 2005

[Updated] I biked another section of my cross-England journey yesterday - going from Islington to Erith. (The Putney to Islington section I did a few months earlier - I might do it again via the cycle paths to “link up” fully.) The original plan was to go to Dartford, but I stopped a few miles [...]

Merge

Thursday, September 15th, 2005

I’m planning to merge YepSport and Yablog back into one weblog.
Why?
* Orienteering is still my principal extra-work activity so I’ll be updating YepSport throughout the year.
* I don’t update Yablog too much these days as I don’t do all that much interesting these days - this ain’t university any more, some of us have to [...]

Attackpoint

Wednesday, September 14th, 2005

I’m recording my event results (and any training I happen to do - probably including the bike commute to work!) at Attackpoint.
See here for my orienteering/training activity in the last 28 days.
So far, I’m not hugely impressed with Attackpoint. It looks slick, but I got numerous errors when trying to add my first entry, [...]

South Thorndon HAVOC District Event, 11 September

Tuesday, September 13th, 2005

After not being able to make it to last weekend’s Petersfield event due to a lack of trains running, this was my first event of the season. Having had a series of good M21S runs at the Scottish 6 day, I was tempted to pick a similar length of course, but as (a) this is [...]

x-England Part 3

Sunday, September 4th, 2005

I did another leg in my cross-England cycle today, going from Staines to Putney in London, along the River Thames towpath for pretty much the whole way, except for a pleasant excursion through Richmond Royal Park. I was, as before, following National Cycle Route 4. It was a relatively short day (I started so late [...]
