Eureka Challenge
Glenluce South
1st place. My best long distance race for some time.
I had a good look at the 1st leg before I took off. I liked the look of the right hand route with a few track taking me 3/4 of the way.
My biggest mistake came at #7. I found the adit, but then overshot after misreading the detail above the control. I actually almost ran on top of the flag before stopping 50m past.
My other mistake was not looking at my compass half way along leg 10 and running down the wrong spur. I corrected ok, without much time loss.
Everything else went to plan except for some unexpected dark green between 13 and 14, causing me to change my plan and head left to the track.
This was a great course and I would put it in the lead for 2014 Course Setter of the Year so far.
