 Poor Farm Dylan did a 2 turn track with a stream crossing on leg 2. He also got to practice acting civilized when cars go by. Didn’t take him long to solve the stream problem https://youtu.be/Sz3AZxEq9_w

 Surry P&R Seren had a 4 turn track, 2 articles in the woods, one with food in it. Double lai @10:05, run @2:10. Sunny, 59degrees, 6mph, 46%. Nice start, started hunting something after 1st turn, was able to recover. Nice work in the woods. Good article indications. Children at playground where I have never seen them before were a major distraction, but we got through it ok https://youtu.be/5bRDFrjIHdI Dylan had a 3 turn track with only 2nd turn flagged. 35min age. Overcast, 51degrees, 8mph, 70%. I was happy with how it went https://youtu.be/Krhk0H8eUv8

 Dorey Park Seren had a 4 turn track with no flags at turns but with articles as ground markers for turns..I discovered this was a bad plan for a public area that had way more dog & human traffic than I anticipated, as 3 articles were missing. We did eventually recover all 3 from their new locations. This wasn’t our best performance, but we got through  Can’t get photos to upload again. Here is link to map http://youtube.com/post/Ugkxmw57qcpZwaqcDbNJ2rKzRvinPosN7E2G?si=3CQ5GiR0DswRBv7y video: https://youtu.be/GYtsjlUgVXo Dylan had a 3 turn track to play with his attention to flags. Used ground markers for turns, had a random flag on 3rd leg. It was very educational for me - he overshot turns by 5-10 feet, but found next leg pretty easily. Looked hard for a turn at the random flag, but did decide to continue straight. He had to work hard due to track contamination, but got the job done.  Sunny, patchy melting ice, 4mph, 55%. 50 min old https://youtu.be/F2S83u9M3yU?feat...
