Nothing like a bit of night o in the rockery to expose all the flaws in your o technique.
Easy first 5 around town/at the edge of the rockery.
Planned on going around the south to #6, but turned in too early and ended up going through the middle and then taking my time trying to find the control..(45secs)
7, slow and bad angle out of 6 (10secs)
,8,9 okay- just very cautious and very slow.
Caught Eugene at 9 and preceded to try run too fast and got pulled left by some bushes that looked like rocks (30secs)
11- chilled (easy+had eugenes light to follow)
12- was a bit far right and realised pretty quickly, but turned in 1 set of rocks too early and took ages to realise what I'd done.. (1:30)
13-fine
14- hit the further south path and thought I'd hit the other, so went in too high (30secs)
15- wrong side of the boulder (10secs)
16- fine
17- attempted to follow the stream and somehow came out at the control (a lot of luck)
18- bad bearing out of 17 (10secs)
19,20,21- okay.
So 4ish min of mistakes, but I'd expect a min or 2 in this terrain at night, so would've been happy enough without #5 and #12's mistakes. Still felt very slow on majority of them though. Not much confidence into any besides the town ones.

Went and ran the medium.
Fine besides for #7 where the control had been pushed into the ground and I spent 5ish min trying to find it.
