CLOK Level C at Brierly & Tilery Woods, Brown. Knowing Peter Bray was starting about 10 mins behind me, I wanted to try and do the whole course without him catching up. 1st control was behind the start which was cheeky/ bad planning. A lot of undergrowth slowed runningbutI was spiking a controls. I'mnot sure what anybody else's take on this is but I believe if if Cultivated Land isn't shown as OOB, you can along it, especially if the planner decides to have numerous controls where the best route choice is along the side of it. At one point though, I found a farmer who said I shouldn't be runnning there. Peter caught me up on 16/18 but I think he got distracted by me as I found it a long time before him. Knowing what the farmer had said,at the next point route choice, i went through the undergrowth while Peter went round the field and therefore beat me to the finish. Course Length: 8.79km.
