Event: Leinster League, Deer Park Forest
 

Wow the rain & hail. Was in the car while the squall passed but nearly needed snorkel to get to start. Chanced going in O-top only, which ended up being spot on as the forest was sheltered.

Really enjoyed this :) On the whole took straighter routes knowing in some cases going round was quicker, but also went round to 8 where straight was way quicker. Didn't have confidence to find the control but with the line feature of the 'green' there should not have been an issue.
Dropped time throughout but only remembered the missed junctions going to 2 & 3. 3 minutes between the 2. shipped time at 8 (90secs) wrong route, 13 (60) didn't match ground veg to map and couldn't see earthbank on map, 14 (60) should have taken safer route, 17 (30) went too direct and went passed control. 7.30 minutes!

Took field route to 4 which didn't work out as had to cross 2 fences to get into field which was really sloppy and through an unmapped farmyard!!, over a gate. Really felt that this should be out of bounds...was expecting a quad to be chasing after me.
