Was not too bad to start with, then missed a small path, glasses fogged up, and I was just standing on a massive path peering into the sloping hillside in front of me wondering it I should be a sensible boy and find out where I was on this path, or just going in and seeing if I was lucky.
Bumped into some older orienteers on the hillside who asked me what control I was looking for them, I handed my map over and they were very grateful as they had found my control just 20 metres further away on the slope and now knew where they were. Good karma.
By this time my glasses had got unfoggy and I puntered along the long leg before doing reasonably fine on the last few controls, including the best 2 compass bearings I have ever done at night.
