JK long. Cleanish again. Pretty tired, gel and water at map exchange. First half map was dodgy on contours, vegetation and paths and I probably took some sub-optimal route choices as a result - I think round was better than through on a number of legs. Saw four fast moving deer crossing just in front of me - they had all picked an unmarked path and they weren't the only ones. Second half map was good enough. Just not enough speed to trouble the scorers.
