I expect poorer results than last week but I'm comfortable with my new strategy. Take the easy navigation controls, don't worry about nearby controls or distance between. I'm just too slow on the ground and there's nothing I can do about that anymore, just keep going until I can't.
21: Diagonal from Woodroffe took us 40m beyond control, that should teach me not to follow.
12: Entered forest west of feature and went too far south but at least I wasn't running when turned back.
23: I couldn't see R1 from top of hill so carried on to 23 and explored below on way back.
6: Leaving 1 I stumbled on Phillippe's control card. All of my late penalty was time spent figuring out what to do with card which I hung in trail side tree. Even so, I probably would have stayed out longer if not concerned with contacting Phillippe at finish. It was only thanks to another's kindness that I went far enough for 6.
