Spring Cottage - Sprint ARDF in a post-extractive landscape

Today we went to Spring Cottage for ARDF.  This is in the middle of the "National Forest" - currently a mixture of decaying mining villages, derelict mines and rapidly expanding forest plantation.  In the afternoon we did the first IARU rules "sprint ARDF" in England:





(Mostly) runnable poplar woodland
The sprint was confined to the "white" forest near the small pool

7:35 for 5 foxes - not bad - I lost a minute at #4
