good run (in the circumstances), spoiled by a silly mistake near the end, going was tough on the southern slopes, again, also through the heather in the east, definitely not the fast runnability promised
3) difficult to sight bearing, took second bearing from boulders on hill, but - inexplicably veared off line 150m before control, as if influenced by curve of the big depression (I remember experiencing some confusion about the right line), perfect distance but no control, relocated at 4 [120secs]
5) took second bearing from below sheefold, hesitant [20]
6) knew I was low and right as I came over the ridge but strayed a little too far looking in a bunch of (unmarked) pits [60]
7) cloud obscured top of hill so contoured around it [20]
9) pit in deep heather, hesitant but only just off-line [10]
13) hesitant at attack point, resisted temptation to go left [10]
14) complacent, found a good line, but intended to aim off not hit the feature bang on, couldn't see pit or flag and sped on down the hill, confused [110]
13th, 11mins behind Jon Cross who caught Ben Stansfield
10th overall
