First Friday DF with Mark standing in. Signal was very weak two people heard out of six competitors, signal approx east. I personally got to Great Kingshill and got a fix on edge of Penn Wood. Next signal confirmed it was back towards Holmer Green. I went down a recently restricted lane only to find Mark's car. Got to edge of small wood and footpath decided to go in to wood [big mistake]. Very thick with holly bushes, as a result lost a lot of time.
