Agreed. Very disappointing not to get a run on the WMOC map. Apparently the organsers didn't push too hard given they want to use it for a National event this year. And the Uni admin had a lot of paperwork they wanted filled out, including a "Risk Assessment" that they sent out on Wednesday last.

PS I've put splits up (in AP) (and I'm trying to get hold of the SI file)

Ok, I put in my splits too, but it seems that you entered your cumulative times, but had the "splits" option selected. So now it looks like you were out for three hours... :)

Ta! Thats tells a story - I'm only good for 10 minutes. That slog up from 9 to 10 and up to the roundabout on the way to 11 took a real toll - I could feel I was slow and the splits show that was a turning point.

Looks like we both messed up 9 and were confused by the bad mapping of the trail from 15 to 16, but you found a better way through the green to 4.

Yep, I stopped short of 9. I looked for a way through the green to 16, but I just didn't see that track.
I was lucky at 4 - I saw the bush ahead and wanted to cut through as little as possible because it looked bad, so aimed straight. Approaching the edge there was the smallest indent which was basically a path. I got through about 5m of green and it opened up and I could see the flag. Quite unfair.

Disappointing course - control placements seemed to be placed exactly where the map errors were.
