Loads of stuff to do at work, good to be back nonetheless. After 17 months I fit, which is empowering. More grading to do now.

The route, checks, and campground/start-finish for the PMC are finalized. Unable and unwilling to make Topofusion do my bidding to my satisfaction, I spent 90 minutes tracing trails on 5 topos, sections of which I’ll be copying and handing out. Low tech, but that’s how we roll.

There will be eight checkpoints in all, a few pretty easy, some quite tough. Some of you should find it quite doable to collect all of them; challenging but with plenty of beer drinking time after. If the temps keep on it should be excellent conditions for hanging around the fire after.

The real test will be putting out all eight during next week. After this I’m sticking to loop courses…
