Orienteering 52:41 [4] 5.4 mi (9:45 / mi) +110m 9:11 / mi
Harlow Woods and Harlow Carr - Blue course, 4th, 52:41
For me, a decent run on an off road course, albeit the woods weren't that tough, the craggy area would have been if it had more controls.
A little scrappy approaching 3 and 4, and 6 was prob biggest mistake as I mistook middle path for northerly but at least realised fairly quickly.
Then overtook a dalek on path to 7, totally bizarre!
Stumbled across 10 and 11 more than anything then got to stretch my legs to 12 but had trouble finding boulder next to path, it was a bit submerged.
13, 14, 15 could have been quicker but didn't really go far wrong, same for 16 should have clocked the green next to it.
Sprint section was good fun, though never really got up to full speed for fear or making mistake. Had to nigh on walk 25-26-27 due to visitors, only real mistake was a bad route 28-29 went to far south.
Good event rewarded with a great turnout good to see.
Never been to the gardens before, well worth a visit
