Night-time fun

Last week I went orienteering. It's so much fun! It was a nighthike organised by one of the clubs at College, and my friend Kevin and I entered as novices. We had six hours to visit as many stations as possible, and started off really well. After a few hours though, the beginner's luck ran out, our torch (flashlight) died, and we found ourselves royally lost. Eventually, we had to clamber over some electric fences and dodge a few angry farmers, arriving back at base just after sunrise and half an hour after the deadline. Our team (The Stumblers), lost so many points as a result that we lost our lead, and got the wooden spoon for the last team back. There's always next year though...
