| 2. |
No attack point Took a chance Not thinking clearly +01:00 | Just ran towards the control without much thought. Crossed the ridge and started looking for ditches. Found one. Went down it. Wrong one. Went left and hit it. | |||||
| 3. |
Did not check features en route Bad map reading Confused parallel features Lacked concentration +06:00 | Contour to stream then up white spur to trail. Trail all the way until it turned N then fought through the green to the bottom. Picked up the wet ditches, but for some reason didn't think they were the parallel "trickle" lines on the map. Pulled up short, saw one reentrant and counted it as two, and went up just past the first stream crossing. went SE to the next one. went back. Went NW to the stream, finally ffigured out where I was, then ran to the swamp, learned how count to two and went up. | |||||
| 4. | Over ridge into ditch, diverted left to ravine and ran down to junction. | ||||||
| 5. | +00:10 | Ran on a bearing across both streams, hit the top of reentrant and ran a pace to the stony. Stood on the W patch for a sec before going to the other one. | |||||
| 6. | Downhill across stream then up the broad spur through the white woods, crossed at the top of the wide reentrant, contoured around to the trail/trickle junction. went up the trail, which was more of a rut, to the end of the bend, then down across the stream and up the other side. Bounced off downed trees in the larger reentrant to the N and in. | ||||||
| 7. |
No attack point Took a chance Confused parallel features Could not relocate Frustrated +04:00 | Ugh. Over the ridge into the N running trickle, tried to stay to thr right of it but got lost in the green and ended up too far right. Turned right! and looked up and down the reentrant by the "7" on the map. Then just went donw and W until I lucked into it. | |||||
| 8. |
Tired | Across stream, around spur and out to the river. followed river to the stream past the spur. I was doggin' it from here on in. went to the stream junction and took the RH fork. | |||||
| 9. | Ran on bearing to the tree at the stream junction, then another bearing to the end of the water, jumped over to ditch behind the bank. | ||||||
| 10. |
Bad route choice Did not follow plan Tired Frustrated +04:00 | Clearing to trail. intended to go up the stream then the first reentrant, but was so sick of the green, that I turned back, followed the trail NW to the end of the white ridge, then doglegged on the contour. | |||||
| 11. |
Bad map reading +05:00 | Came out the way I went in, then took trail. Counted three big reentrants on the left and looked for the big right turn, but never saw it. Pulled up at the far trail junction 250m past the control! Ran back and attacked off the N bend. An extra 0.5 km! | |||||
| 12. | Trail (again) to the white woods past the stream, crossed the other trail then counted to two - finally getting the hang of that. | ||||||
| 13. | Back out to the lower trail to the bend, then up the reentrant. Just kept looking right for a flag on the 200m long feature. | ||||||
| 14. |
Tired | Up to trail. Tired of running. | |||||
