HH Ashridge - woke very early (pre-4) so did work and decided to take myself over. Good decision - very much enjoyed the course and being out in (lovely) forest. Was generally fine navigationally (considering this was my first event in 2016 and first event since mid Nov) - lost 20 secs to 1 (visited neighbouring control), 1'45 to 11 (missed depression in green/windlblown which wasn't mapped greatly) and then another 10 secs missing the knoll (15). Main issue was with fitness and really struggled beyond 30 mins. Still, it was great to be back out again - lot of work to do though!
