Nominal 4.3km/165m. 19c.
Careful navigation and a lot of trudging through the undergrowth. It'd be nice to have some leg speed. A bit lacking in confidence that I was going the right way for #3, dithered about in the holly for #4, found the right earth bank to guide me to #5 but turned the wrong way along it to start with. Struggled to find #11 in the grot, but got lucky for the pits at #12, #13, and then overran #14, slightly wrong bearing, confused by the vague paths here. Off the path too early for #17 and fought through the holly. Lost the bingo pit for #18. 11th/53, a bit off the pace of the better orienteers here.
