very good run, around 90secs of navigation errors, but gave away at least 5secs at most controls by stopping to take a proper bearing, so another 90secs in total, going was tough on the southern slope and my lack of strength was exposed, physically didn't perform as well as I might have done
2) bearing slightly off (right) [20]
3) veered left after catching feature (crag, boulder), corrected fairly quickly [40]
8) slow and hesitant through stony ground [20]
17) slightly left on bearing initially [10]
9th, but almost 8mins down on Ben Stansfield, 5 behind JD
