Event: Newcastle NOY 4 - Hamburgers Trail
 

NOY4 at Wallaroo - "Hamburger Trail" - Mod Short course, but didn't go to all controls - lots of tree fall, with creepers and clumpy grass on the ground - very difficult going with crutches.

sometimes the tracks and paths were slower than through the open forest, and green stripe generally seemed slower than light green forest.

one big mistake on approach to #5, took wrong minor track (confused by fallen trees) and should have back-tracked when I realised mistake - instead continued down creek line for 150m - very slow going in long grass bracken and scrub - lesson for next time, (or put a scythe blade on the crutches!)

walk to start - hadn't allowed for this distance in my plans, but reasonable speed on the greasy track (2 crutches)

MS - Splits

first day for 7 months not taking industrial strength antibiotics!!! :-)) still taking enough other pills to rattle morning & night, but hopefully won't need them for long now that I have stopped the antibiotics.
