Day 2 - Strathfarrar - Course 39
After the disaster of Day 1, I wasn't optimistic about my chances. Thankfully I managed to get into a good rhythm straight away and the elephant tracks helped. Went slightly too far down the hill for #5, but managed to relocate and find it. The only real mistakes came at #8, when I was too high and overshot the control, and #9 when I went out of #8 way too quickly in the wrong direction and went to the wrong control before relocating. The rest of the course was good fun, although I did have to resort to straight lining all the controls in the forest because I couldn't make sense of the vegetation on the ground. Finished in under 2 hours, a vast improvement on day 1!
