Bad route choice Time Lost: 00:30 | took the trail mark closed and hoped that the floodwaters had receded (yes they had!) then a lot of uphill; then got caught in thick buckthorn and undergrowth. Might have been better to go to the top on the trails and the go down the spur from the top. |
| 12. | Time Lost: 00:05 | tired; someone moved the finish from inside the building to the outside! |
