Were they moaning about the nav or the need to nav?

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.
