Dunno about this, i think i was suffering from fatigue with the last couple of days of effort. No real problems with navigation but i just couldn't get a pace going. Fern caught me on the hill climb, but i got away again in the thick native scrub. Quite a few unflagged dangerous mine shafts very close to controls which i found a little dodgy. One competitor came back and got rather angry about the shafts. They were on the map, but were not flagged on the gorund and were very dangerous. I don't know about the rules in this case, but i thought controls could've been better placed not anywhere so near to them. They were on the map however (the ones i found).
