JK Long, St Leonard's & Holmbushanother good run, but spoiled by issue with overprint/crossing points on long leg, lost motivation after that, ran out of steam uphill to #19, strategy of going direct at St Leonard's was probably misguided though enjoyable
#17 chose left past the edge of the arena and along the track behind the control, but started to have doubts about legitimacy as I descended toward the arena, stopped in front of the haybales and studied the map with magnifier: at first glance I'd thought the track was uncovered, but closer inspection suggested overprint 'uncrossable boundary' had continued from the fence over the end of the track (the solid black of the track showed up underneath the overprint) - no one was going that direction so I had to ascend through the field with a pouty face
update: the track was intended as a legal route, the decision not to offset the overprint led to the ambiguity and very late printing meant it could not be rectified, it would have been better to off-set, or even better added a crossing point symbol; at least one runner gambled on the route and got lucky13th, 14mins behind James, 82secs behind Frostbite
