I was hobbling when I got out of the car, much to Zoe's amusement!
Got going and gradually the blood started moving and was grand once I started apart from cold feet! It was quite frosty.

Had map exchange, so on approaching the kite I stuffed map down my backside so I could keep it, punched and looked for maps....they weren't there! Searched frantically for a bit, then took my map out to find way to either start or registration. Ran to registration and informed them of no maps...Dave the controller took my map, unfolded it and ... turned it over ...doh!!
How could I not think that???
Ran back to control, punched again, so it would be known how long this calamity lasted.
Has reasonable run though didn't spike 9 out of the 24 controls, but apart from 18 and 21, time lost at each was seconds.
Time does not include excursion to registration. Also Fingal agreed to remove this from my overall time
