Bad compass work Hesitated +01:20 | Missed high, turned around, stopped, found it to my 5 o'clock. None of that would have happened were the bag visible. | |||||

Bad map reading +00:15 | Missed the bag right (was at where the spur becomes green). | |||||

Hesitated +00:30 | Hesitated to push through the SVGL (single vertical green lines) and went left to MG. Bad choice. | |||||
8. |
Did not like map +00:15 | Another, unmapped ditch, N of the control. Stopped. | |||||

Lacked confidence +00:25 | Explored the view down/N from the E-W spur a bit before descending. | |||||

Did not plan ahead +01:30 | Went way W along the S bank of the creek before crossing it. Thought I was on the NW-directed part of the creek. Went N up the white part of the spur. It was good running; the time was lost on the perpendicular (creek) part of the leg, and on the creek crossing. | |||||

Bad map reading +01:00 | Leaving the trail NE of the control, I thought I had successfully identified the DVGL trees and was going to follow their boundary into the bag. I was wrong on the identification (it was MFGT rather than DVGL), and also sliced through the DVGL like it was OW. Up to a point. Finally, found myself in the middle of the DVGL, and slowly walked over the VGL's into the bag (should have just bailed S of the DVGL and followed the DVGL-SVGL boundary into the bag. Boundary, yeah.) | |||||
13. | +00:25 | Crossed the creek through the water rather than on a bridge, to cool off the tendon. | |||||

Bad compass work +00:15 | Missed high, coming from just before a bend in the RDL. | |||||
15. |
Bad compass work +00:20 | Hit the SW-NE RDL too wide. Should have trusted the off-map MG; it really appeared MG from a distance. | |||||
