10.40am: DVOA Event- SPRINGTON MANOR FARM - Green Course.
Nice to run in a new area to me. An interesting little park, map 1:5,000. Wyatt Riley set a good course with quite a lot of route choice. Not really any navigational problems 1-6. Out of 6 must have gone out too fast on the wrong angle so hit wrong trail and ended up cutting through some thicker green vegetation and once on trails didn't take the direct option. Interesting the magnify wasn't much use as strong reflections off the sun. 7-8 took the north option to the field and back south into control. No problem and it showed me the way out to 9. No navigational issues the remainder of course.
Was tired by end. Need to work on the following: not reading ahead enough so stopping at control to quickly work out next leg, talk about throwing away time!
A beautiful day - it was a lot of fun.
