Scottish 6 Days - Day 5: Craig a Barns WRE Long
What a nightmare.
Made poor route choices and mistakes on controls 2,3 and 4 before settling into the map, by which time I must have been around 20 minutes behind.
Middle section I was pretty happy with, took a longer route choice on the long leg 9-10, but I needed a break from navving after my crap start.
Last few controls didn't all go well. I found it hard to distinguish between large and small crags, and consequently lost minutes making mistakes and poor route choices. I stood directly on top of one control that had been tucked right under the crag (overhanging heather had hidden it), and I went over on my right ankle this time quite badly and had to limp over the finish line.
