Unofficial Result

Rob Bishop 4.32.00
Noel Jones 4.40.00

 

Rob Bishop and I returned to Stevenage for a rematch against the Fairland Valley. We went the usual way around again - the rumours that we would do it in reverse were unfounded. As a result navigation was much easier with only a few checks of the instructions needed. This week the snow all but disappeared but that left us with mud and water to contend with instead. This course does not get any easier  just because the snow has gone. The second half of the course is net uphill all the way back which punishes you for setting off too fast. Around half way we found our path blocked by a couple of small lakes with no option but to wade through, knocking the ice out of the way. Talk about cold feet!!
