Started off with a nonsense tactic, ran to high pointed control that I was confident I could get quickly before properly looking at map and formulating plan. then ran up to the north end before realising that would be a good place to turn the map over.... also realised I was on a hiding to nothing trying to clear, so abandoned that area and ran back south. Covered way too much ground, watch stopped a couple of times, but even then hadn't visited my 4th control on about 28 minutes... from then on got better, and was much more sensible on odd side of map. I reckon the optimum route would have started with odds, cleared the south end of the map and then gone up to the north to swap over, come back and get as much as possible, ignoring the 2 furthest controls... brilliant fun though and woods were fantastic tonight.
