Re Mercia's time. I think it was just shy of the hour (I think all th efirst 3 legs were just shy of their predicted times), 2 class runners I think. I don't know the orienteer but he's supposed to be some hot shot and Andy Davies is a 2:27 marathon runner.
GG was top 10 at the World Orienteering Champs this year, and is a 30min 10km runner as well. They didn't even get the best lines every time, as we were just behind them going from CP5 to 6 and they missed the path cutting below the screes and had to climb up to it, making their time even more impressive.
Thanks to CFR for an enjoyable nav leg, made even more tricky by the visibility.
