EOF Holyrood Park Scatter 1

This is a 60 minute, scatter course, where each control is worth between 1 and 9 points, the number of points is equal to the name of the control divided by 100.
e.g. control 100, 101, 102 etc are all worth 1 point
control 200, 201, 202 etc are all worth 2 points.

There are 42 controls, but don't worry, you don't have to get them all, the idea is to get as many as you can, worth the most number of points, in the time allocated.

A penalty of 1 point per minute is applied if you are late. The time used for the penalty is rounded up to the nearest minute, so even if just 1 second late, that's 1 point deducted.
If you get slightly lost, you can hit the "Show me" button on the top right of the map, but you will be deducted 1 point each time you use it.
