| 1. |
Confused parallel features +00:10 | Right past yesterday's #1, but popped into wrong reentrant at the end - corrected quickly | |||||
| 2. | +04:00 | Went to S corner of larger yellow marsh, and headed in almost to the control, but visibility was low, and I couldn't see the feature. Relocated by climbing hill to the north | |||||
| 3. |
Bad compass work +01:30 | Drifted left, hit wall, and fishhooked in from pond | |||||
| 4. | +00:30 | Went right, followed walls, went past the kolbotten, and came out in the right place, but couldn't see boulder at first in the saplings. | |||||
| 5. | Right, and across the beaver dam in Snark Pond. | ||||||
| 6. |
Confused parallel features +01:00 | Drifted right, and came up the side of the reentrantthat had the stream, instead of the one with the cliff. | |||||
| 7. |
Read map too late +00:45 | Followed wall, but at the end I was looking at the wrong reentrant at first, and had to hook back (circle was a little sloppy). | |||||
| 8. |
Bad compass work Lacked concentration +02:00 | Between Mymeeba Pond and the northern marsh, to the tip of Mymeeba,then followed small ponds, but blew the first attack and had to try again. Saw Clint going into it. | |||||
| 9. | Generally slow and careful, knew right where I was, Clint parallel. He looked a little more unsure at the end. | ||||||
| 10. | Walked carefully and spiked it, Clint was to the left, but came in soon behind me. | ||||||
| 11. | Ran very coarsely until I came to the two yellow marshes SW of Upper Hold, and went between them, then read my way carefully on little ponds, south of Genial Pond, and knew exactly where I was coming into the control. Clint was already there, just a bit short and looking puzzled. | ||||||
| 12. | |||||||
| 13. |
Confused parallel features +01:30 | On the verge of reaching the control, I misread the map and turned to the right, and had to circle around and back in. Clint right behind me. | |||||
| 14. | |||||||
| 15. |
Did not follow plan +01:30 | Doh! Headed straight for the trail, but when I saw the marsh ahead, I loooked at the map, erroneously thought I was coming from #1, and turned the wrong way, crossing the marsh instead of missing it and picking up the trail. At that point I figured I might as well go straight the rest of the way. | |||||
