"Relays" Blacka Moor, did 3 mass starts each about 10mins apart rather than a proper relay format.
Unfortunately I was in a mass start with lots of fast people so I was very quickly left behind! This was ok until number 3 where either 2 was in the wrong place or 3 was. Massive miss, I reckon about 3mins... I took a bearing and then just didn't find the control.. Didn't see the path either and ended up way too far down. Annoyed as I was deliberately careful. Once I finally found 3 I took the reverse bearing and it did not point to number 2 which I could still see... The undergrowth to 4 was disgusting, brambles, knee deep heather and mud. Almost gave up at this point as I just wasn't having fun but stuck in as I knew that there was no real reason not to finish. The rest was ok, aside from falling on the way to 12. Saw some horses and Herdwick sheep.
