DVOA French Creek North - Red. This event was unexpectedly fine. Greg and I arrived early (only a 2 hour drive!) and went out early, before the mass start. The course was forked, but it was just as interesting doing it solo as it would have been in a crowd. The day was getting hot, but it was cool in the forest, with a bit of a breeze. The vegetation was dense but not annoying.
I've had so much trouble with this terrain in the past, it was such a pleasure to be navigating confidently with no mistakes. But slow, certainly, in places, when collecting features were not immediately visible and confidence began to leak away, but things always straightened themselves out and controls appeared right where they should have been. Very satisfying.
