East Lindfield - Long Line
Set off after Undy after what I thought was a reasonable gap and managed to get to 2 before him. We both read the map wrongly at 3 thinking you could get into the control from the top, Undy braved the undergrowth whilst I dithered around probably losing at least 4 mins. Saw Paula get the control whilst I was still bashing from above. Some cruel hills from 4 to 5 where I managed to catch Paula, finally managing to shake her off on the way to 11 but she caught me and Undy at 13. Struggled to see where 14 was on the map but having read my control descriptions didn't get caught out unlike Undy who missed it. Seemed to come top by default as Paula MPed as well.
