Mitre at Epping: Short Brown - pretty pleasing run with only one schoolboy gaffe: got to 2 but ruled it out as code was different to what I thought - left control and moved on but terrain didn't look right. Rechecked code and realised I had the wrong one in my head. Backtracked and lost 45secs or so. Lost a small amount of time at 9 and slight hesitation getting to 15 though the intricate stuff of the camps. Forest was very inviting and was able to go straight for much of it, even through what had been mapped as light (or even darker) green. Felt a bit slow in parts, but given th recent illness, it's not surprising. An encouraging start to 2017.
