Ollie's comments - by leg
| 1. |
Bad compass work Time Lost: 00:30 | Poor navigation - too far to the right, also hesitated a bit - overcompensated for the scale. Had to cross the same, very wet marsh, twice! |
| 2. |
Bad compass work Time Lost: 00:30 | Didn't read the detail in the circle properly. |
| 3. |
Took a chance Bad map reading Time Lost: 01:00 | This was odd - I'm sure the control was higher up than the map indicated. Visited two others while trying to find this one. |
| 4. | Saw this a long way off. | |
| 5. | Long, easy. Went fast and felt good. | |
| 6. |
Took a chance Bad map reading Time Lost: 01:00 | Went well until the end, when I missed the feature. |
| 7. |
Bad route choice Time Lost: 00:30 | Bad route choice, going back to the path and then back off it after only 10m. |
| 8. |
Bad route choice Did not plan ahead Took a chance Underrated difficulty Did not like map Unused to map Unused to terrain Time Lost: 05:00 | So this time I went straight. Big mistake, not all the gorse was marked, got very confused and had to properly relocate. Exhausting terrain. |

Bad route choice Did not plan ahead Took a chance Underrated difficulty Ran too fast Read map too late Bad compass work Could not relocate Time Lost: 05:00 | Really nasty control here, in an unmarked gorse bush. Bad navigation, then overcompensated and overshot badly, also misreading the compass. |

Did not follow plan Underrated difficulty Tired Unused to terrain Time Lost: 02:30 | This was a tough, demanding leg, with man-eating marshes. I should have gone around the path. |
