| 4. | Time Lost: 06:00 | Doh. I have this bad habit of realizing that I'm not really going the right way, but charging ahead anyhow. Departed from #3 going too far to the right, and misinterpreted the marsh ahead of me as being the one to the south, but it was actually the one to the west. A glance at the compass in here would have revealed the truth. Got between the two western marshes and realized where I was, but instead of turning around, I forced my way through the green and then turned south. Yeah, it worked, but it sure wasn't fast. |
| 5. | Time Lost: 05:00 | Here's another case of not paying attention to what I'm doing. I wanted to avoid the marshy area west of the unnamed lake, so I went NW up the marshes. But I went too far west and climbed a rocky hill that I didn't need to. Noticed my error, and stayed off to the left, crossing the stream on the bridge right next to Mymeeba Pond. The real damage occurred on the attack ? I knew where I was, but going the right direction to cover the last 150 m or so proved tricky, and I had to try a second time. Didn't realize how close this was to one of the night-O controls. |

| 8. | Time Lost: 01:00 | Went right of the NW-SE pond, and the light green there was pretty bad. |
| 9. | Time Lost: 01:30 | Got about halfway there with no problem, but it was bland after that and I drifted to the right. Saw the trail ahead and I was able to make a hard left and went directly to the control. |

| 11. | Time Lost: 04:00 | Didn't read the contours very well near the control, got too far to the east, saw the wall, and did better on my second attack. |
| 12. | Crossed on the beaver dam between Upper Hold and Middle Keep. Hard to miss that boulder! | |
| 13. | Got a bit off to the right, but recognized where I was at the southern end of the long marsh, so it worked out fine. | |
