Day 4. The weather is worse but the orienteering better.

The weather changed today - started out ok with clouds in the distance, but by lunchtime it was clouded over and by the time we were ready to go training - it was raining.The training event was a long drive - 5 mins straight up the hill. then the walk to the start. The official information said it was 1km to the start, but that was obviously for teams with a manger that could drop them off and then collect them close to the finish.
The parking lot is off the map on the top right corner. We started in the quarry - just below the number 7. Jeremy's GPS failed to record, perhaps due to the rainy conditions, so no track on the map today. We mad a mistake in deciding when to go training, and this was the picture of what greeted us at the finish at 16h30. The car park had 10 cars and a gazebi in it when we started the training 2 hrs previously.
and this was the trip down the hill back to the accommodation. We were wet and cold and ready for supper - and now we really needed to do some laundry too.
Supper was great and another evening at computers for both of us. The sun just went down - long days make for productive days - it is 20 to 10 in the evening.
