Bonskied Middle.
Amazing area especially the middle section. I have never really pieced together a good middle race in technical areas so was hoping today would go well. 1 was okay then just made a huge banana on 2 and ended up about 40/50m off line and had to come back round a fence, shocking compass work. Then scrappy for a couple more. Then decided to attack more and went to 6 via 8 and 7 so I knew I could push for a few legs. I then felt really good for about 10 legs and only a couple of 5 sec misses (now leading) until back in the green where I just missed my compass and climbed then dropped and stood next to the control for 10sec without seeing it. Then okay.
On the long leg I saw the contour or over the top route. Contouring looked awful so straight it was. I think it is possibly the fastest route if executed. Unfortunately it involved coming off the rounded side of a hill down a rough slope on top of a crag. I missed it by about 20m too high then carried along the slope. Went oops too far. Turned back came back and was on top of the crag but still not found it. Eventually went further down the hill to relocate off the bottom. Then saw it. Binned 5min here. Just jogged it in after that as no need breaking myself down a slope. Bigger fish to fry next week.

Some positives from the weekend. Getting the hang of this terrain a bit more.
