Lacked confidence Unused to terrain | Stay below light green for a while - it looks really nasty, but when I get in its fine: soft leaves to caress my face and nothing underfoot. |

Lacked confidence Unused to terrain Time Lost: 00:45 | dropped to road, then cut a corner through terrain. Maybe contouring out of control and taking a right hand route is quicker? Dont see a thicket (is it the greenbriar?), but flag is in about the right area. |

Lacked confidence Hesitated Frustrated Unused to map Unused to terrain Time Lost: 05:00 | right out of 7 to trail, then straight from junction of major trails. Check earthwall, thicket, ditchend, then stuck in greenbriar and lost orientation and heart. First encounter with nasty undergrowth, and unsure whether non-stripy green shows thick forest or briar. Eventually bailed out to track above control, and descended to it (still losing 30s in the circle). A mess. |
