Bee and I attended Mount Edgcumbe on the Sunday. It was a long way to travel, slightly mitigated by the excitement of the Tor Point ferry, but as Bee is a contender for Yellow in the South West league we decided it was worth the trip.
On my last visit, as part of the Tamar Triple last year, I was attacked by a deer ([Tamar Triple - All weather orienteering in Devon and Cornwall](https://chat.quantockorienteers.co.uk/t/tamar-triple-all-weather-orienteering-in-devon-and-cornwall/229)) and I remember the vegetation on the hillside was quite thick.
Bee went off first - his course was essentially the same as last year in reverse (to be fair there are only so many options for the planner!). He had no problems and returned in 1st place after enjoying watching several herds of deer between controls.
I had a great start on my course - in fact on the first leg I equalled Ben Chester’s time and was only a few seconds behind at control 2. We dropped down into an area not visited last year and whilst I could not maintain the speed of those at the top, I was still having a decent run.
On the way to control 8 however I unfortunately smashed my big toe on a rock and I was in a lot of pain for the rest of the course (with hindsight retiring would probably have been sensible). You can see from my splits how my pace dropped considerably:
The course generally was fast and the navigation was fairly straight forward - the vegetation was also much less wild with more runnable wooded areas than I remember.
