I can understand the need to nav moan. If you're running into the clag having to nav, even on simple legs like 1,2 and 4, you're at a massive disadvantage from those local runners who don't have to nav at all. Personally I think local knowledge for the nav leg is advantage enough.

I thought 2 was an easy leg to navigate around and did it almost all from memory and a word or two of advice from others tbf, but still you were running not 100% committed keeping an eye out for landmarks you'll recognise, whereas locals can just hoon it.
Moaning about the need to nav and their own lack of nav skills, practically... searching around for cp's in the mist and the like. Local knowledge would have been a huge advantage... Mind you, some locals told me they had never been to that part of the world before either
