Not a time trail, and some actual orienteering! Unfortunately had forgotten how to orienteer, so immediately screwed up. Too focussed on catching up the Craig/Tam/Simon pack who were ~30 seconds in front starting, so cut across the field towards where they had headed. Didn't notice the first path, ignored the fact I was crossing a ditched continued way past the control and blew 40 seconds overshooting it. Doh.
Arnis had then caught and overtaken me, so I was kinda pissed. Running quite hard trying to catch back up the pack - could see glimpses of them ahead.
Passed Arnis and Simon to 5, then finally overtook Tam and Craig when they messed 7.
Leading the train through 8/9/10, then poor route to 11 meant Tam got in front - turned out the only way in through the light green crap was from the East.
Different route to Tam to 12, ran along the wall. Then for some reason as he was cutting up to it from the path, I thought he'd already got it, and plunged into the shite on the North side of the wall. Don't know what I was thinking, it was clearly on the South side, up on the spur. Totally ridiculous mistake, wasting 2 and a half minutes. That meant Tam, Arnis and Simon all got back infront, though I was still leading Craig, as he'd just been following me since 7.
Rest of the course was fine, but the others were too far away to catch.
Both errors due to paying attention to other people, stupid. Usually not a problem.
