Couldn't see a better way of doing #1 than gun barrel straight, so I gave that a go. Kept picking up my line along the way and pretty much nailed the control. Went past #2 a bit but picked it up well enough. Found Juffy's favourite cliff by catching a flash of orange at the right time.
#7 saw me a bit right and I couldn't pick where I was, so I wasted a few minutes in the breakaway well above the control before spotting some better rocks in the distance.
Fluffed #9 - no fault of the map/setter - I lost count of spurs and gullies on the way and wasn't sure if I was on the right spur. Then I spent some time trying to make some unmapped clearings work. Eventually pulled the pin and headed up the hill to relocate near 10 and happened across #9 on the way by pure luck.
The rest was okay. The area needs a damn good burn and for half of the rocks to be remapped as rocky ground. The course was fine, although perhaps some of the control sites could have been passed over.
No niggles from my calf, so hopefully that's all good. Never really pushed too hard (apart from the finish).
