Underrated difficulty

Stuffed up the approach by going in too early and getting stuck in a holly bush, which I fought through.

Got quite disorientated on this leg and didn't know where I was, so took a change and headed north onto the control.
24. Took a chance
Really lucky here - I thought I was a long way short of the control, when I saw it straight ahead. Could have made a costly mistake here.
