Where do I start with this one? Last night I could have ranted on about how bad it was and how rubbish my navigation was etc etc. But this morning after a restless night with my brain working overtime trying to put things into perspective I feel a little better. Yes I totally messed up a couple of legs and I do hate thrashing through the woods hunting for controls, even in daylight, but at night!! Aaaarrrggghhh.
So in hindsight I did make time consuming mistakes but also did really well sometimes. The main error was missing control 17. Control 16 was in the wrong place so after much searching eventually finding it I was keen to press on and headed straight for a crossing point. I didn't realise my mistake until the finish.
Looking at the results I see the better orienteers realised the error (control on wrong place) and didn't bother wasting time looking for it. I am not that good. So lessons learned and hopefully remembered.
I'll leave it at that.
