FRA Relays 'Navigation' leg.
Gorilas in the mist job. Caught Black Combe (Rigg) and EUHH (Tim Morgan), we then proceeded to race each other thinking someone else was navigating, oops. Dropped way too low on 2 so missed the feature it was on. Then fucking about in clag and extra reentrants on 3 ,4, extra hills on 5, although not really looking at my map or compass is the main culprit here.
Passed TTDP and Dave Sykes 3 times.
Have to see the funny side but miffed as, in Simon C, had my strongest partner in a while, felt good early on, moving well in terrain and conditions should have suited me for a really good leg placing. Next year. Best to get the mistakes out of the way this weekend...
Also joined by our Vets team (eventual bronze) and Sam Tosh. Vets won V40 Bronze (as did V50s); open team 21st which is fair given our 1st and last legs weren't much cop, but they made the trip which is what matters!
