Waiting ...

The empty cup signifies that I am sitting in the waiting area of my garage waiting for my car's brakes to be fixed, they squeak. I have got the impression that it is my fault that they squeak and that the garage will do its best to put right my braking errors. Also the boot catch is not working well ... this is also my fault ... I seem to have opened and closed it in the wrong way and now it will be difficult to fix. I understand that grasping the handle and clicking the catch is the right way to do it. I must have been pulling it up from the corner. It is all my fault ... sorry ... sorry ...

The Car Park

This is the car park for day 2 of the Northern Orienteering Championships. Today we were in north Derbyshire running on Baslow, Curbar and Froggatt Edges and Big Moor. The ground was frozen first thing in the morning and up on the tops ice covered all of the little ponds in the marshes. As the morning wore on the ground became really slippery as the mud on the top surface melted allowing for some extremely exciting downhill running towards the finish.

The downhill car park became like a sloping skating ring making it interesting trying to guide your car through a gritstone- posted gateway at the bottom corner of the field!
