Creag Choinnich from Braemar.
I ran the brown (longest) course which was 7.0k with 470m of climb and 22 controls, and which took me 77 minutes; giving me second place, 4 seconds behind Andy Hyslop of Warrior.
Creag Choinnich is located just east of Braemar and provided a good, if physical (hilly and rough underfoot) test. The first leg was approximately 1k long and I was the only person I know of who went over - everybody else going east of the hill. 2 and 3 were very rough - heather and stones. I missed 4 through not having a precise attack point - realised I was wrong when I saw the wall below me! My route from 7 - 8 differed from everybody else I spoke to - the others following a more direct (but, from the evidence of splits I know of, slower!) route. Was careless leaving 19 and gave myself more climb than was necessary.
Results.
