Phil's course at Earls Trails. In true Phil fashion, stumbled on my first step at the start and almost fell down. Got better after that. Mostly walked as this was my first look at a map since last year.
Went thru the first 4 no problems. Was a little R on 5, but looked at the contours and corrected over to the control, 30 sec. Should have been more cautious on that vague area. Was L at 6 and spent a minute figuring the correct hilltop. Didn't trust my attack point going to 8 and stopped too soon. Back to the trail jct and a more careful bearing got me to the control with 5 min lost. No problems on the rest.
Enjoyed the course and map, which seemed to have all the little bike trails up to date.
