On a very fun contour map by Marcus.
Was running well in terrain, but nav was pretty shocking. A few slight errors as kites were well hidden to add to the challenge (including standing on top of one and still not noticing it...) but on 5 and 9 I just didn't pay attention to the map and fcuked up. Other than that some nav was OK, but most rusty. Really needed to slow down but decided at the start that over 1.5km I was going for broke. Ash deservedly kicked my ass.

part 2. Again still running well in terrain but only the 1 error here, but man was it a biggy! - leaving 4 didn't check the map so I had no clue where I was and so ended up back at number 1 to Rhys's hilarity. Then a fanny at 8. After the error it was me and Pete Gorvett all the way - him taking the less-hilly route choice and me straight lining everything, as I did all day.
Fantastic fun, lots of people around as well! Will have to get out again before JK though to sort out the whole contour interpretation mind. Or maybe I just need to slow down and use the compass (only used the compass twice today - and 1 of those was for checking North before I started...)
