Still over a week behind with posts....anyhow off to a small orienteering event run by Leicestershire Orienteering Club. Located on the outskirts of a little village called Burbage which was an easy hours drive north east of Oxford. This was definitely a social event as we were there to meet up with ex-Canberran Fish aka Stewart Fishwick. 
The area was a mix of grassy meadows with an adjacent forested area full of many tracks and thick brambles. The girls happily completed a 1.5km white course which meandered along the grassy meadows then headed through the shady green forest before emerging onto the meadow again to finish. Meanwhile Andy and Fish had their friendly tussle on the brown course with Fish coming up triumphs. I trundled around the short green course so we could have lunch at a reasonable time.
After one failed attempt for a pub lunch (we'd forgotten it was Father's Day here), we opted for a cafe near Lutterworth. Turned out to be a quirky, quiet cafe which served great food and coffee as well as a perfect spot to catch up with Fish.
