My first visit to High Dam - enjoyed it!

Started somewhat hesitantly to #1.
#2 Took on straight route which went ok until the fence / wall crossing. Rushed from here though and lured too far north by green / open. Couldn't really make it fit but bumbled into circle before Lewis Taylor highlighted the flag by punching [3min]
#3-#5 Struggled to read detail but chasing Lewis seemed to work.
#9 Ended up too high [30]
#11 Dropped a bit low [20]
#12 Low route would have been faster. Then went to wrong drinks control [100]
#13 Straight route best choice I feel, just a bit hesitant in choosing it initially then executing the fiddlier bits [2m 30s]
#17 Banana-ed [40]
#26 Went high when low was better [60]
#27 Went low when high was better [80]
Briefly had some company here.
#28 Missed south [30]
#29 Didn't spot western route which was potentially quicker - hard to know as I was knackered!

Hard to evaluate really - physically felt empty fairly early on but managed to concentrate sufficiently to not do anything too silly technically. Found it very difficult to pick the best route for several legs - perhaps this was just good planning.

Quads aching afterwards - slow trudge up Hampsfell afterwards in an attempt to appease them.
