1. FIrst few controls have much more vague features than yesterday.
2. +00:30Got too low and missed some of the re-entrants.
3. Saw Suzanne Armstrong leaving the control. Green is fairly runnable, so reach path much nearer the road than I expected. Carefully followed the tops of the re-entrants on the S side of the ridge into the control.
4.
5.
6. Decided that the flat creek/road/trail route is too long, so took the unpopular route over the hill. After a very steep uphill, crossed the shallow re-entrant and dropped down to the trail/road junction. Took the trail towards the control, seeing Suzanne ahead of me again. I went up the long ridge to the control. Reached the control with Suzanne.
7. +00:30Decided to reduce climb this time by crossing the ridge to the SW of the th control. Overshot the control - met Suzanne and others coming up the trail from the SE.
8. Downhill. Steep slope above the west side of the creek.
9.
10. Pass Suzanne going up the long hill. Went over the top of the control, and through the green, keeping an eye on the re-entrants. Thought I'd finally got away from Suzanne.
11. See Suzanne climbing the hill into the control below me.
12. Kept founding myself too low in the rocks. Trying to keep an eye on the re-entrants across the main valley. Thought I was near the control when I know I was no-where near it, as I saw re-entrants that looked like they should round the control, but had no problems when I did get near the control. Reached the control with Suzanne having not seen her at all on the leg.
13. Up the ditch (last steep uphill of the day). Suzanne goes up the spur.
14. Ahead of Suzanne but go to the wrong re-entrant first so she fianlly gets away from me.
15. Down to the road to get round the out of bounds (and avoid any more climb).
16.
