JK Middle, Brereton Spurs. Have had some good results on this area in the past so went in with a positive mindset. Nailed the first lot of controls up to #6, then totally fluffed #7. A very short leg and I just didn't check my compass and ended up too low down the slope, resulting in a lovely climb back up to the control. Lost maybe a minute and a half to 2 minutes :( Got angry at myself and continued to nearly fluff up #8, losing another 30s ish. #10 I lost maybe another 30s from faffing as there was loads of people looking around just before the control, but I managed to persuade myself I needed to cross another track and sure enough I did and saw the feature straight away. Caught Sarah P and Anika up by this point so we had a little train going on round the rest of the course which helped keep me going.
Finished in 8th at the end of the EUOC girls packing, which is where I belong I guess.
