Pwll Du: Tough open area. Managed to underperform again on this one. Didn’t read the CD on 3 and was looking on top of the spur rather that at the foot. 90s lost Was careful and had a good AP at 7 (knoll) but must have been 5m too far as missed the control, kept going to try to find it eventually coming back to the knoll and dropping into it. 4 mins lost. Would have finished just outside the top 10 but messed up again at the 2nd last control. The feature was a re-entrant and I read the map as a spur with a shallow re-entrant on the south face. I couldn’t find this feature and ignored a control that appeared to be in the correct place. When I returned to the same place I read the control number and it was correct. The feature was a long thin re-entrant not a spur. A further 3 mins lost. A disappointing 18th place again.
Note
Have now underperformed at the Scottish Sprint, British Middle & Long and JK Middle & Long. I need to analyse the errors and work out where I am going wrong.
