Covered 10.6kms on a 7.5km course as tried to be too conservative in an area where I have really struggled to navigate with any level of success. Managed to finish without too many major hassles but was just sloooow.
Missed 1 as skewed off direction but ended up trying the safe approach from the low side which was fine. 3 I was in the right spot but didn't back myself in the circle when I was literally right on top of control and didn't see it. 4 was slow but hit it, and then 5. Wrong set of rocks/small cliffs. Long leg to 9 I didn't really plan as well as I thought and lost map contact. Relocated and released that bike/animal tracks not main tracks. Rest of course was straight forward out in the open stuff but didn't really push myself and just cruised around and worked on navigation etc. Overall I was pleased to have finished but should have been 20mins faster.
