Standard Bart mistake rushing to the 1st control before my head's in the game. Lost 6 minutes on an otherwise straight forward 1minute 1st control. Chasing after drew took the wrong path, and couldn't bearing check as i had no compass.
Apart from that, had a very good run through a lot of the controls with the below exceptions where bigger mistakes occurred 1 - 5mins. don't wanna talk about it. 5 - 30s non-specific attackpoint, and didn't know exactly what the brown x's represented. was in the right area, but not confident enough. 7 - 30s was not courageous enough to navigate through the white, so took a long approach 8 - 3mins took a risk across the white, and lost contact with what trail i was on. couldn't bearing check (no compass) 9 - 30s confused when exiting the control, unsure of east/west.
10:30 of real errors... which is around the difference between me and 2nd place.

Didn't gps it unfortunately but basically got pointed in a different direction to drew by the starter, which threw me off a bit, and I missed 3 of the controls near the start zone. I then had to go back PAST the finish and the start to collect them before finishing. Apart from that, very easy, and no real problems.
A great idea to provide this though, as there's almost no extra cost or effort to put it on, and most people would want a second run i reckon. They should do this at every single event
