Kaapsche Hoop Rockery - 1:5000. Super technical terrain, and the most technical map I have ever run on. Made a decision before the start that I was going to take it conservatively and practice using my compass. It went fairly ok, with big mistakes as #4 (overshot and ran past on the path), #8 (drifted too far south and had to relocate- big time loss) and #21 (too far north of control). Lots of other small mistakes and slow nav. Running also felt very slow and map contact was poor. I think I was too conservative on approaching controls. 18th place overall.
