Wyatt's comments - by leg
| 1. |
Underrated difficulty Time Lost: 01:00 | To hill top, then diagonal down to little notch reentrant above bag. Didn't see it even though I was looking hard & GPS says I ran right across it. Hit the larger reentrant east of the bag, then spiked it on the way back. |
| 2. |
Bad route choice Did not like map Time Lost: 03:00 | Left route was bad wasn't confident of the beach route - should've read map more. Left attack was poor too as trail/clearing had changed, plus the bad was hung a bit too high, so I had to loop around the big reentrant, and see Clem catch 4 minutes on me and exit before me... |
| 3. |
Did not like map Bad map reading Could not relocate Followed others Time Lost: 01:30 | Clem entered the woods a little early, I entered a bit after him more on line, but then turned left to see where he'd crossed the early/wrong reentrant in case there was a bag there. There wasn't. I bailed out and looped around to the building and into 3 from there. |
| 4. | Time Lost: 00:15 | Hit ledge WSW of control and it was steeper than I thought. Climbed and turned, then things worked. |
| 5. | Climbed spur to the left. Trail to bend. E 50 paces, SE to dirt wall then creek. Left on creek to other creeks, then E into bag. | |
| 6. | Uphill, weaving a bit right over the high parts then down to bag. | |
| 7. | Time Lost: 00:20 | Pretty close to the line. Stopped about 25m short, quite confused as to why I hadn't seen anything |
| 8. | Time Lost: 00:20 | Up old road, through field edge, down new road, then contoured across, just a little high. Route wobbly. |
| 9. | Bearing/reentant zoom. | |
| 10. | Time Lost: 01:45 | On line out, across reentrant and up through more dark green than intended. Broke of a tree branch to bash my way through at one point. At the road, I took a few steps into the forest, then wimped out/backed around the trail way around left, missing it at the junction as it's quite indisitnct there.. Straight would've been better, much... |
| 11. | Pretty straight - to road, diagonal, road a bit, then down big spur lean across, nailed 11. | |
| 12. | Time Lost: 00:10 | Contoured, climbed up to flat, got inside circle and couldn't see subtle reentrant very close to me |
| 13. | Up to hill then contour around path of least resistance, hitting several mini-reentrants so I knew I was low. | |
| 14. | N to trail NW, N, W cut to road, trail to near pool, right past buildings, broken ground, reentrant, L side, right across the dry pond to the bag. | |
