We were at Whitbarrow Scar, and that Sunday wasn't that good a day after all.
The weather was horrible with strong wind blowing and rain drizzling non-stop.
Made it so much harder to locate the flags, especially when they were all at ground level.
And, we didn't really know how to read the map and use the compass.
HAHA.
There were 13 control points but we only managed to find three.
And it was all aided by some kind people who stopped their run and led us to where we should find the next flag. Thank youuuu. We were so damn lost.
Paul kept running away from Jorrel and I too (in his Adidas casual sportswear, oh sadness). =_=
And those who helped us were pretty surprised that we took the Short Blue course considering that we were beginners.
Next time we go for this again, we shall take Orange or Green. Meh.
Still, this terrain was a hard one.
There weren't many prominent landmarks or something.
I did enjoyed running around in my new WHITE trainers and ruining them in a mixture of mud and cow pats.
Awesome.
The cows still moo wherever I am.
We went straight for the finishing point to download our results after Point 5.
Haha, we gave up and we didn't have anymore time too.
All courses closed at 14.30.
Thanks Sun for leaving his post so soon in the day. I don't like you anymore Sun. :(
So now, we are sooo fired up for any orienteering activity in the future.
Of course, we will be more prepared at that time unlike on Sunday which was a complete failure.
After one or two practices, we shall race against each other!
