1. | Took a route somewhere between contouring and going straight | ||||||
2. | ok | ||||||
3. | ok | ||||||

6. | went straight | ||||||
7. | ok | ||||||
8. | ok | ||||||

Bad map reading Bad compass work +00:40 | DIdn't mean to follow the ride. Should have taken a bearing out of the control. When I got to the top of the ride I initially went left instead of right but I saw the distinctive wall up the main track and then turned right. | |||||
10. | across to the track on the far side of the open then bombed along to the junction s of the control. the control was further up the reenterant than exected. | ||||||
11. | ok | ||||||
12. | went south then east. was considering taking a route passing close to the summit but decided against it due to the roughness of the open area | ||||||
13. | via the visitors centre car park. not too sure the feature should be on the map - it was a tiny knoll only about 30cm high made from a few old logs with moss on. | ||||||
14. | ok. turn map over for part 2. | ||||||
15. | ok | ||||||
16. |
Did not read control description +00:10 | wasted some time in the circle. thought the control was on the path bend rather than in a ditch. need to get better on reading control descriptions. im quite good at remembering the codes. | |||||
17. |
Bad route choice +00:20 | took a bad route choice round to the east which strayed too far from the line. didn't think i had done too badly compared with the man who left the previous control at the same time. | |||||
18. | run up the hill chasing the BAOC man. good bearing through wood | ||||||
19. | was pleased when the other people went the wrong was. best route was to go round the top of the vegetated reenterant. | ||||||
20. | slog up the hill. visiting the control for the second time on the course. | ||||||
21. | straight | ||||||
22. | along path for a bit then cut across open to go down a ride before going along another path to the control | ||||||
23. | +00:20 | down to the stork sculpture. aparently i slowed down here. lost ~20s compared to others splits. | |||||
24. | +00:05 | banged head on stupid wooden thingy. then again - all the best people did. | |||||
F. | to finish |
