 | Orienteering (Field Checking) 1:30:00 [1] *** 5.3 mi (16:58 / mi) | |
| shoes: NB 809 |
| Checking control sites at Grafton Lakes SP. Map somwhat better in the part I was in but still some low visibility and junky woods. Found that one of my control placements was in a very noticeably "posted" area so had to find another spot and do a bit of course redesign. I knew the area was outside the park but the I think the posting is fairly recent. It'd probably be OK to use outside of hunting season since the posters are a "sportsmans club".
Did a few segments of trail running getting from place to place, probably about a mile or so. Managed to tweak my already sore ankle again but could still run on it.
Woods still quite wet, which is good for mushrooms and mosquitos. |

| Orienteering (Field Checking) 2:00:00 [1] *** 5.0 mi (24:00 / mi) | |
| shoes: NB 809 |
| Field checking control sites at Grafton Lakes SP for EMPO event on 9/21. Some good woods, some junky woods, some flaky mapping of rocky features, at least in the area I was in. I'm pretty sure that other areas of the map yet to be checked are better. All the water features are wet. Was actually out for about 4 hours.
AOWN: Saw probably 20 different kinds of fungi - many different colors and many not "conventional" mushrooms. Oh, did I mention that the woods were wet? |
