Really tough physically. Very wet, muddy, snow, brambles and brashings so probably started off too fast, tired after 75mins down to a slow jog/walk by 100mins. (lost 6 of my 10mins to jon in the last few controls)
----------
Nav was ok - a few silly mistakes early on but did the long leg and the detailed areas in the north pretty well.
Mistakes ~5:00 mins
(1) (0:30) - Difficult 1st control didn't really have an AP and circled a bit
(5) (1:30) - Worst mistake -too high up the reentrant (side) and overshot
(7) (1:00) - Stupid switch off to road crossing drifted left = extra 400m!
(14) (0:30) - Route - should have stayed high. mapped veg misleading tho
(17) (0:30) - Was a bit low and thrown by an unmapped fence
(21) (1:00) - Went straight on 2nd long leg paths & round hill was better
