DVO Birchen Edge
Quite warm at home but a real contrast on the moor, especially when the squall hit towards the end - could hardly keep my eyes open under siege of the ice being blown directly into my face!
First couple ok, slightly hesitant picking out features to #2.
#3 Must have switched off, missed first banner of trees and looked beyond second one in error. Found #12, but still had trouble getting back to control site! [120] Not a good start.
#4 Couldn't work out where indistinct path was meant to be; slow [15]
#5 Spotted Parkino heading to #4 which gave me a kick up the backside for the next few!
#11 Off line to east initially and missed picking up path after wood [30]
#13 Too far south [10]
#15 Off line to east [30] Caught by Duncan.
#16 Into circle ok but wooded depression obscured by circle so hesitant [20]
#18 Really horrible running here - struggled [20]
#19 Squall directly into face - drifted east as unable to see! [45]
Quite cold for the rest but fortunately squall had abated.
Surprisingly not too far down... but beaten by Parkino again! Suppose he does a little more training than me, and he made the map ;)
