NOY 6 at Balickera, Rolling Stones map. Mind not really on the job and resulted in a couple of annoying misses. Maybe enough time to have caught AH but nowhere near JB.
No idea why heart rate so high? Slightly sick and took some sudafed tablets this morning?
1. Straightish, crossed main watercourse at first crossing point. Along to minor watercourse.
2. Straightish, but was probably a bit west and hit wrong watercourse, though thought the one I was after, and then went wrong way, did a loop back to previous watercourse to check/relocate. Probably lost 3 minutes.
3. Straightish
4. Straightish, but must have drifted little too far E, up a dry gully which thought was watercourse I was looking for, over to next/correct watercourse, too high then. Probably lost 1 minute.
5. Straight, over taken be AM and JS headed in same direction so followed.
6. Angled SW up to track, from first track junction down minor watercourse, then along major to watercourse junction prior to control, angled through green, hit watercourse with control to the W of control but not sure, lots of waterholes here so checked before heading east to control. Probably lost 30 sec.
7. Straight.
8. SE to first minor watercourse, across to track, along track then up along Watercourse to control.
9. Straight, over top of hill.
10. Straight.
11. Straightish but stayed same contour initially, end up going too high and too close to track, had then go west from top of hill, splits say lost 52 sec, not sure I'd count that much.
F. Straight
