Was pretty rusty to begin with - didn't get a feel for distance and direction on 2 & 3. Started getting a bit of flow after 5. Got to where 14 should have been, looked right & there it was with Paul's buff! (no kite). Went straight to 16, before realising I hadn't seen 15 - problem with master maps - red pen doesn't always show up well. Screwed up 18. Could see the significant trees from the distance, but when I got closer I couldn't see them - had to relocate. Went straight to 24, luckily was checking control numbers. Physically I didn't feel too bad, but was definitely rusty with the nav.
