1. | In my nervousness, entered the woods through some light brambles. Since I was wearing shorts due to misplacing my knickers, this wasn't that comfortable. After that, pretty easy. | ||||||
2. | |||||||
3. | +02:30 | Ugh. Had no real plan, and got confused by the water courses (miscounted). Was NE of the area, and found 2 other controls before mine. | |||||
4. | Probably not optimal, went the N way around (following a blue runner ahead of me) | ||||||
5. | W then S, overshooting to path before turning around and seeing the control. Saw Ken Walker Sr. (who started 4 mins behind me) coming in. Drat. | ||||||
6. | Contoured around field corner. | ||||||
7. | +01:30 | Ouch. Misread compass and ended up in the brambles to the E. Took too long to figure it out, then extricate myself. | |||||
8. | pretty much following the line the whole way | ||||||
9. | |||||||
10. | started west, but didn't like the green, so went S and then out into the field. | ||||||
11. | +01:30 | N to trail, w across crick, trail n. Overshot NW, hitting big trail. Thought I saw a trail to the W, but it wasn't. As I was getting to control, saw KW punching. | |||||
12. | KW went straight, I went along the path a bit before cutting in & going straight to control (I saw KW wandering in the green on the other side of the ridge. | ||||||
