EWhite's comments - by leg
| 1. |
Did not check features en route Time Lost: 01:00 | Includes 3:38 to copy map. South of lake, slightly out of contact with map to S end of cliff. Didn't like looks of marsh so went to intended attack point at N end of cliff then across to control. |
| 2. | Ran cautiously - bounced off stone wall (more ruined than map indicated) that led to control feature. | |
| 3. |
Did not read control description Hesitated Time Lost: 00:20 | Rough nav between marshes. Hesitated at circle because I wasn't sure what feature I was seeking. |
| 4. |
Bad map reading Time Lost: 02:00 | Major error - failed to note the first and larger trail on map. Veered R to reach it at marsh than spent some time looking for control reentrant from N-S section. No reentrant, so looked at map and relocated. |
| 5. | Spike! E of marsh, attacked from neck of spur with large boulders. | |
| 6. | Rough nav across spurs to trail. Around S end of marsh, past boulders to control. | |
| 7. | Time Lost: 00:10 | Around S end of green then veered slightly right correcting from end of stone wall S of control. |
| 8. |
Bad map reading Time Lost: 00:20 | Took trail to the W, then around N end of marsh - probably not the best route, but I wanted to work on navigating at speed, not thrashing through green. Control feature (contour) pretty tenuous - I aimed too far R from stone wall at N end of marsh. |
| 9. | Failed to copy onto my map! Arrgh! George Walker enlightened me later. | |
| 10. | Straight from #8 - handrailed ridge top, though camping area and down ride. I figure I would have picked up 9 in about another minute. |
