Possibly my least favourite forest - in the whole world! Was determined to not get defeated this time but promptly went walkabout at 2 and had to bale out to a fence - 4 mins away already. Got my head together after that and was fairly safe and steady for the next few until I got a bit offline and confused by the vegetation and ditches on the way to 11. This wasn't helped by drifting into navigating to 12 somewhere on the way and passing a control which "wasn't mine"! Fortunately I realised after a couple of hundred metres and turned back - another 4 mins binned. Relatively ok after that and was very surprised to finish 3rd - but a whopping 8 mins down!
