This was made harder by the fact I couldn't read the bloody 1:15000 map D: Anyway, good to #1and2 (although made harder in the open by the mist). #3 I was much too far left. Noticed a tiny little fenced area and re-attacked from there. Lots of people I spoke to were too far left on this control as well... #7 I wasn't quite sure what was what when I got within the circle so wandered for a bit until a group of people came along and led me into the control:/ #11 was a mega leg. Never been faced with anything like that before. Didn't know what route to take but tried to stay near the line so stayed high and attacked from the top of the hill. Scrappy into it, though; I always knew where I was but I kept going the wrong way so had to keep readjusting -.- (dad showed me his route after, which was dropping down, and I realised that that would have been much better! But ah well...) #12 I just wasn't in the right reentrant! Eventually found it. Shoutout to Beth for guiding me into #13 (thanks:D) ;) Another long leg to #14 which I think I took a good route for! It was simple so allowed me to run faster and gave me a good AP into the control at the end. #16 I just couldn't read the detail and so wandered for a bit before stopping and squinting at the map to work out what was going on... Nasty uphill finish:/ Third average run of the weekend. 18th. Again. 17th overall.
