Could have told you LHS of wall was definitely quicker from reccies (and from looking at a map....)!

Definitely quicker to go along Rocky Valley than up stairs. I've reccied that section a lot and always used RV on all three attempts. It's where people go at the end of RV that's still up for debate, but, for me, I've also nailed that section with what I think is the fastest route.

Bit sad to miss yesterday, but never mind, there's always next year. Placed 6th on the men's open course at the Northern Night O Champs in Middleton Woods in the evening instead, so I'll take that.
