SL#3 WATTLE RIDGE- "Survivor Hilltop"

When you scan the results taking a close look at the kilometre rates (a nifty feature of Eventor results) you will quickly see that the only competitors breaking 10 minutes a km were those on the easy / very easy courses. For the majority of competitors  it would appear that 20 minutes plus a km was the norm.
Why is this? Have a look at the map and you will see two things; A very complex rock area aided and abetted by varying shades of green.

The comments from competitors supported this - "great course but oh so tough" "Great courses but way too long"

Control 11 looks pretty reasonable.

I had the same last 3 controls and managed to stuff up every single one of them, even the last one, came in too high - do ran down and then up again!!! My o technique failed me miserably !!!
