Clive was a couple of minutes ahead as expected before it looks like he couldn't find #17, looked for it for 10 mins and gave up. Bit of a surprise? It was in a clearing 50m away from the path...

Based on advice from rcro, thought this would be worth the extra drive compared to the HOC event.
Correct - it was great. Not a bramble in sight.
Pretty good run as well, despite (IMHO) some dubious feature mapping; knolls which were no higher than surrounding vegetation etc.
Helped into 1 by the large hide halfway with a control on it (control in one of the shallowest pits in one of the shallowest reentrants I've ever encountered) then fine to 5.
6 was about a 1200m leg; just went straight, but struggled to find the control at the end.should've picked up the convenient earthbank but didn't have a lot of confidence I'd be able to find it based on the size of the other features, and didn't want to deviate.relocated on obvious stream bend.never saw the actual knoll.60s.
Another 60s on 7, didn't really know what to do other than go straight and just missed it.came out on the path and didn't really know where I was, but thought I saw something that looked like vegetation and find the control.lucky not to lose more really.
No other real mistakes so only 2 mins lost. Leading when I left but Clive will probably do 47-48 I reckon...
