AIRE Meanwood Park
New area to me; better than expected.
Few controls where micro routes would have saved 10s or so; #1 where I reached the top of the boulder group when the control was nestled at the bottom, #4 where I got stuck in the green leaving #3 and #6 where the western route would have been slightly shorter.
#13 Headed to wrong block of trees initially then couldn't fathom map. Eventually found control buried in a bramble patch [90]
#15 Someone had asked for assistance (having lost their map) on the previous leg; loss of concentration led to no plan for this leg and being off to the south. Simple bearing would have nailed it [2m 30s]
#21 Unable to match mapped paths to ground. Eventually just headed to the open; should have done this sooner [1m 10s]
F Yep, time loss on the finish... It wasn't a taped route despite claims on the control descriptions and it wasn't located at the centre of the circle so with no description to go on... [30] They moved it after I complained.
Finished 4th, 4m 30s down on Joe Woodley.
