SLOW/MV Headley Heath CSC Qualifier - Blue Men
Very nice late winter day. Couldn't get to grip with what was mapped and what wasn't by way of vegetation and paths. Also had difficulty seeing some of the point features on the map when relocating (in spite of using the reading glasses). Banged head (enough to draw blood) on a low tree branch whilst looking at the map. Energy ebbing due to general fatigue and lack of nav success. All-in-all a duff event for me. Plenty of other people adjusted to the idiosyncrisies of the map ok, so can't put it all down to that. 2 hrs of childcare (incl. string course) probably wasn't ideal prep mentally or physically.
Felt very tired at the end.
