Shirebrook Woods

After staying the night with brother and sister -in-law J&V, J announced he wanted to go orienteering this morning. Mr P was delighted, is there any better way of breaking a journey? The event was at Shirebrook Woods a reclaimed colliery. Some interesting contours but generally new woodland park site which was not at all technical.  Took this one photo out on the course, with my phone to show we had yet another sunny day. My time was lack lustre but a lot quicker than J who insists on going round in walking boots carrying a rucksack. He does a lot of Duke of Edinburgh assessing  when  boots and rucksack are standard kit. Perhaps he does not feel safe unless he ventures out with a first aid kit and goodness knows what else he has in his rucksack. Possibly provisions for camping out in an emergency.
