Paul & I have been to the cinema quite a lot in the first three months of 2011.

At the start of December I was co-tutoring a UKCC L2 course for aspirant orienteering coaches. Paul signed up for a first aid course at the Slochd so we decided to take another break at The Old Stable near to Boat of Garten.

To sum up November – paint, paint, scrub, carpets, work.

This is a reflective look back at October 2010, written at the start of January 2011. Why the delay? Well, life has been a bit busy and so other things have taken priority (that does sound a lot better than saying I’ve been lazy!).
This was a month of some time here and some time there. There was Boat of Garten, coaching and assessing orienteering – as well as having a break. Here was well, here – and painting.

There was an opportunity to go orienteering every weekend and we took the lot!

We had been speaking for some time – measure that in years – about having the ceilings redone. They had been badly artexed by the previous occupants, the taping of the plasterboard seams was starting to part company with the boards and generally things were looking tired and in need of being redone. We had been expecting the plasterer for about a month.

You would have thought that five days of orienteering racing in the Lakes would be enough – but no, Paul & Lynne entered the last of the Clyde urban races. This one was based close to the Kelvinhall Art Gallery & Museum and so easy to get to on a Sunday morning. This was the area that was used for a Park World Tour event in the late 1990’s.

A contingent of six folks from EckO headed for this event 22nd – 27th August 2010. This was during the school term in Scotland so no EckO families were able to attend. Andy & Marieke, Alan, Carol, Paul & Lynne headed for ‘Carol’s house’ just north of Penrith. The event centre was Coniston, so there was quite a bit of travelling a couple of the days.
I am a level 4 orienteering coach and a qualified Assessor & Coach Educator. I have been orienteering for xx years and have coached on many foreign tours.
