There were some positives here. For quite a lot of it, I was in control and running ok. I enjoyed the longer course (when I wasn't making mistakes!)
Couldn't see the path to the east of #2 between the OOB hatching and the olive green. Everyone else saw it. Second day that's happened and I looked hard for a path. Actually didn't cost me too much though.
Re-entrant NE of #8 was hard going. Should have looked for a path.
Map showed #9 to the NE of the clearing, but the cleared area was much larger on the ground.
First big mistake to #11. Poor bearing and lack of focus, meant I missed the earth bank. Thought I was south of the control. Struggled to relocate. Sloppy. Lost about 6mins.
#17 was a learning experience. Should have chosen the simpler approach from the N. Would have led me into the control. Should have been able to execute with my approach though. Was going to contour round onto the control. Stayed too high and didn't turn N. Was too far up the re-entrant and was trying to make all the wrong things fit. Up and down, making the same mistake each time. Finally just went N along the top of the spur onto the control, which is what I should have been doing. Probably lost 20mins. Woeful.
Wasted so much energy on #17 that I wasn't going so well after that.
