BAOC (UK) Ash Ranges: Brown

| 1. | Up the range, over the top and the control was sitting right there. | ||||||
| 2. | Across the track, up the re-entrant, then on a bearing to the control. Slower through the heather. | ||||||
| 3. | Quick straight to about 5m away. | ||||||
| 4. | Very happy with the navigation and approach: along the path and up the re-entrant exactly as I'd expected. | ||||||
| 5. | Slightly too far south, but no major issue. | ||||||
| 6. | +01:00 | Took a wrong turn on leaving the range, and ended up drawn to another control about 100m away. | |||||
| 7. | Fine on the approach; ended up too low by about 5m. | ||||||
| 8. | Good. Across the range, through the woods, fence and bearing in to 5m away. | ||||||
| 9. | +01:00 | Direct route possibly not the easiest or fastest, but I got there eventually. | |||||
| 10. | Steady before the final descent, cross-checking my line against the form lines behind me. | ||||||
| 11. | Fast out of #10, but slower contouring across - starting to feel the hear. | ||||||
| 12. | Good route: bearing lined up an obvious track through the gorse and straight to the control. | ||||||
| 13. | Slower through heather, then onto tracks before the final approach. Despite revisiting it, it felt completely different. | ||||||
| 14. | Trusted my bearing and it paid off: nailed! | ||||||
| 15. | Tiring again, so walked up the re-entrant and nailed it. | ||||||
| 16. | +01:00 | North onto the tracks through the plantation, down the track and in. Ended up at the southern/downhill end of the gulley/trench and lost time moving 20m up it. | |||||
| 17. | Fine. Tiring so took my time to concentrate, but got it. | ||||||
| 18. | Good approach across the range and along the earth bank. | ||||||
| 19. | +00:30 | Stopped a little early on the way in, but used the form to the north to get there. | |||||
| 20. | No problem, apart from stopping at the control on the spur about 100m short of the actual control. | ||||||
| 21. | +00:30 | Under-estimated the distance (forgot the distance in the circles) so stopped short again. | |||||
| 22. | Tired, and an unnecessary climb up to this one at the end! | ||||||
