Old_Fox's comments - by leg

1. Good
2. Good
3. Did not like map
Time Lost: 00:45
Map was completely out of order. There were hills not marked, and then the control was incorrectly set on the wrong hill. AARRGG!
4. Good
5. OK, could have followed the line a bit better
6. Rubbish map. I was lucky, just bearing, ran in and found control. Nothing was romotely correct.
7. Good
8. Time Lost: 00:20Slight compass error, but caught it quick enough.
9. Did not like map
Time Lost: 04:30
What can I say. I ran out 3 times and ran in each time correctly. The hill was about 50 m incorrectly drawn, and thus I had no chance to find the control. Frustrated I ran on to 10 and in the procees ran past 9 - pure LUCK!
10. OK
11. Did not like map
Time Lost: 01:30
Road incorrectly drawn on map, so ended up on the wrong hill. After relocating found control.
12. Good (could see the control for miles....)
13. Good
14. Did not like map
Time Lost: 00:20
Arg - map again. Had luck in that I walked in and found the control.
15. Did not like map
Control set incorrectly, on the right description but wrong feature. Additionally both features where about 30 m off, which was disturbing. I did not lose any time here however.
16. Bad map reading
Bad compass work
Frustrated
Time Lost: 03:30
FRUSTRATION, lack of plan, anger. No idea what really happened, but this was a bad contrrol.
17. Good, had been there twice before :)
18. Good
19. A really excellent control, some people lost a lot of time here. The white was correct (for once) and was able to find the control using that.
20. Did not like map
Time Lost: 00:30
Confused, felling, green, no idea what I was doing. Map schocking, proving that the controls hadn't even bothered to check this map before.
21. Frustrated
Time Lost: 01:30
By now I had given up, frustrated, angry, irritated. And I couldn't seem to calm down. Here no attack point.
22. Bad map reading
Frustrated
Time Lost: 03:00
Bad map reading, ran to 24 before I relaised that I had missed 23 out.
23. OK, but just plodded
24. Same as above
25. Same as above.

Total Time Lost - 00:15:55
