VE with Aoife. Start triangle confusing again. Could not see path from where we picked up map, Nea also confused. Aoife overshot 1 ended up at 2 but came back without prompting, good to see she took notice of code (have previously had doubts). 3 and 5 strangely placed in middle of long grass patches but did not bother her. We 'cut the corner' to 9. She got 10 and 11 perfectly fine even though I was not sure. Ran a reasonable amount for a change.

Usual Mt Annan slog up and down hills and through long grass. Feeling weak and unfit most of the way! Made mistake on way to 3 - spotted VE control and started running downhill towards it instead of along track to my control. 8-9 was a killer up cleared hillside. Overshot 12 and ran off map, mixing with the M course people! Slog from there to finish, struggled to make myself run in places and had quite a few walks!
