More compass work required I think. We were first v50 pair, but that's not really saying much and we should have scored at least another 70 points Putting it down to experience.

It's her first time doing anything like this. Just the 'short' cafe course. Anyway, she finished yesterday (15 miles - 10hrs) saying it was the hardest thing she'd ever done (she has done marathons before)!
