Orienteering race 1:08:52 [3] 6.9 km (9:59 / km) +312m 8:08 / km
NGOC League Leckhampton Hill
A new very steep area which had a lot of contour detail in places. Started out well before a slight miss into 5 which sent me 20m away but down a very steep slope. Then was steady through 6 and 7 but struggled down the very steep slopes. Big miss at 9 where I misread the contours and ended up a huge bank again. Another lapse of concentration into 10 not counting the paths properly. Good into 11, 12, 13 and 14. 15 was the most interesting route choice and I decided to climb up and then contour around. I ended up way too high and in the middle of some thick gorse. After getting out of that, I was only 10m away from the upper path so joined that and attacked from the top which was much easier. Looks like the best route was straight and then along the bottom at the control wasn't too high up. Wasn't feel very motivated through the rest of the controls so went slowly and read contours carefully.
