| 1. | control: copse, AP hit the big clearing. uphill pretty straight west thru mixed white & green, managed to pick up the indistinct path which sped me to the clearing. | ||||||
| 2. | +00:10 | C-reentrant, AP S tip of clearing. ran to southwest edge of clearing & path. Somehow missed S tip of clearing. so I arced farther west than intended. | |||||
| 3. | crossed the stream & followed it downstream to control, dodging the greener vegetation. | ||||||
| 4. | west, uphill to control, dodging the thickets. Could see the building (control) almost as soon as I started toward it. | ||||||
| 5. | C=ruin, AP=path bend. hit path, could see control on ruin, slowness mainly due to vegetation. | ||||||
| 6. | path to pit. | ||||||
| 7. | path, watching for manmade "X" on left | ||||||
| 8. | AP=building E of control. Pretty straight thru woods, left of first buiilding & just left of sencond building. Looking ahead to see the buildings made this a fast leg. Caught a couple wait-a-minute vines going thru the white forest, but fortunately they were more of the wait-a-second variety & I kept my feet. | ||||||
| 9. | C="X", AP= path Y. straight back to building, path to junction, could see small nuilding just right fo teh control & aimed just left of it which took me straight to the conrtrol. | ||||||
| 10. | C=copse, AP= edge of clearing. downhill, angled toward trail to avoid some of the green; straighter might have worked as well, but it was hard to see through the vegetation. | ||||||
| 11. | fast run along the lakeshore to control on copse | ||||||
| 12. | +00:10 | path for a few meters, left uphill past first building. drifted left to miss teh undergrowth & ended up getting too far left, picking up the path that cuts across the line between 1 and 2. Right of the big building to eastern path. Intened to run path to road, but spotted cobntrol thru the woods & it looked clear (mapped with some green), so I cut straight to it. A little sloppy on the middle part of the leg; I should have been able to go straighter. | |||||
| F. | downhill finish on a gravel track. breakneck speed; fortunately neck is still intact. |
