| 1. |
Bad route choice Bad compass work Bad distance judgement +01:30 | Bad compass and distance extimation from my attack point at the corner of the field. Overran cntl badly. | |||||
| 2. | Staight downhill through the field of high grass. | ||||||
| 3. | Found a mowed path through the grass leading east. Horseshoe Trail to fifth right. Rough compass SE, attack south from stonewall-trail junction. | ||||||
| 4. | Aimed for the fields to the right. Attack from trail junction. | ||||||
| 5. | Horsehoe trail until ~75m past charcoal terrace. Long attack from the trail by compass, nailed the cntl. | ||||||
| 6. |

| 7. |
Tired | Straight to the cntl. | |||||
| 8. |
Bad map reading Confused parallel features Bad distance judgement Could not relocate Not thinking clearly +20:00 | Slow over the rocky ground. Thought I had gone much further. Searched for the point about 300m to the west. Multiple relocation errors. Found the point on fifth attempt. Ugghh! This hurt. | |||||
| 9. | Straight across hillside. Sideslope and rocky ground slowed me. A lower line where the hill was less steep would have been faster. Handrailed property line from the cairn and dropped to the cntl. | ||||||
| 10. |
Bad route choice Bad compass work +01:00 | Poor rough compass north to Horseshoe trail. Drifted east. Attacked from one trail junction to far east, but caught my error when I crossed the next trail. Read creeks to locate cntl. | |||||
