Red course at EMPO local event on Partridge Run map (SL 5.9km). Generally junky woods but fairly good visibility. There didn't seem to be much difference between white woods and light green at this time of year (it's all light green). Not a lot of terrain detail so navigation is mostly by stone walls, roads, trails, vegetation boundaries, streams and marshes (which were pretty full with cold water). A cold day (mid-30s) with up to about 2" of snow on the ground in places.
An OK run with lots of woods bashing and wet feet. Lost some time where a couple of beaver ponds were much fuller than mapped - ended up crossing on a dam or it would've been a very long way around. A couple of small misses drifting off the compass line. Thanks to Phil H-T for setting courses and hanging around in the cold while we all ran.
