Terrible start, blowing the first control though there were lots of people in the same boat.Actually was looking at 7 at one point so nothing looked right. Took it easy for 2 through 5. Controls were very tricky. Hilltops were identified as knolls and the flags were a few feet into the bush and below knee height. Missed 6 as they hide it really well. Bad navigation to 7 so bailed to find 8 and used it to take a bearing to 7. Slow after that until 11. Has trouble finding 12 and after a few attempts headed back to 11. I was so elated to find 11, I punched it thinking it was 12 and headed for 13. Came out of the bush in the wrong place but did not realize I had missed 12. Ran to 13 that was near by and punched, running in. Overtime but thought I had got them all until the "mp" came up. Dumbie!! Should have backtracked from 13 to 12 but my brain must has been fried by then.

Walk in Spirit Sands trail out to the Punch Bowl, a 45 m pit formed from the sand and underground water in this area. Nice stroll after the mess of the COC's Middle.
