Hmm where do I start with this kerfuffle...
http://www.baoc.routegadget.co.uk/rg2/#146&cou...#1. The plan was to follow the ride until I saw the crag on the left and use the end of that as the AP. I did not see the crag at all, turned left when I got suspiciously far, saw a control in a reentrant that wasn't mine, ignored that extra information, found
another control on a ride junction and decided to pay attention this time; realised I was an idiot and than navigated perfectly to the control. 3 minutes down already, wtf.
Lesson: there was just so many other things I should have been looking out for which I ignored because I was only focussed on the crag. I need to take more features into account rather than only thinking about an 'obvious' one.
I'm happy with 2-11. I think the North route on 7 would've been better though as it avoids a lot of the rocks.
On #12 I was so caught up with not going through the uncrossable marsh, and the hell I was going to recognise the boundary between crossable and uncrossable marsh without just falling in it, that I deviated to a comical level and was nowhere near where I thought I was. Then my line to the control was actually quite good but unfortunately I couldn't see it until I was on top of it, so was really slow. I think going higher first is the better plan here.
#14, tried to go too straight and found the control ok, but ran through a lot of unnecessary marsh. Going higher seemed to result in other people being on a path here. I very much was not on anything. Should have seen I needed to gain the height at some point and avoided the march.
#15 terrible; no real plan, found what I thought was the boulder on the way, didn't even check it since I knew it wasn't mine. Turned out it was actually #16 which would've made a reasonable AP, but actually kept going and ended up overshooting by miles. Should've had ANY plan.
#17 just getting annoyed; not even looking in the right section of land.
#18,19 fine (because I followed Marcus)
#20, F my best legs of the day.
There is a lot to learn from this. Nice area though. And definitely enjoyed the section between 2 and 11!
