3) S thru woods to trail and S on trail.

1 PM
Orienteering 39:00 [3] *** 3.4 km (11:28 / km) +25m 11:04 / km
Light Green course at Knettishall Heath, 3.4 km
Started off badly as I found #1, thought it was a different control because my clues for Orange were still in my holder (there werent loose CDs for the Light Green). Then I tried to navigate to a nearby holly bush. I didnt find it, but Inoticed that I was at the correct control the first time.
The rest of the course was OK except for slow vegetation.
