no whistle, no go

Sometimes at orienteering events we have to carry a whistle in case of an emergency. It is usually the case when the weather is not good and/or the terrain is high and exposed. Both criteria applied today, although for the most part it was dry, only the occasional heavy downpour. Stickle Pike was such a great area, very runnable with enough rock features and contours to keep the adrenalin going!!
