Hard Medium - Splits

Control and course checking at Pelaw Main for HV schools coming up in couple of weeks. Did on MTB as looked like most controls were accessible from tracks. Mostly riding with bits of walking with bike through bush to harder controls.

Short "proper" ride because I was there with my bike.
