CSC qual - Ranmore Common
Not much positive to take from this, other than I know never to come back here again. The map was awful and I was awful, and I got a serious case of can't be arsed after taking 40 mins to #4.
At #2 and #4 the impenetrable forest was just not mapped at all - to the extent that I was on the right line to #2 but turned back because the wall of holly I came up against wasn't on the map. It turned out you had to search for a tiny gap in the 100m long bush, all of which was "white" forest. I'm sure the SE could do a lot better for a CSC qualifier.
Anyway I hardly earned the right to rant by being pretty pants myself.
