Nobscot BYOM, Red, 6.9 km. Went with Nancy and rendezvoused with Phil and Peter (thanks for the impetus, Phil!), the three of them all did Green. Mostly okay, I had to stop twice to remove tiny thorns that had apparently survived the washing machine from my socks, which necessitated shoe removal. I had caught Phil at #1 (he had started a bit earlier), and he almost caught up on the way to #2 during the first thorn extraction. Missed a bit on #3, I came into the area okay but visibility was low, so I missed to the right and overshot the end of the stone wall, which extended higher onto the hillside than I was expecting. The big oops was on #7. I went down the stream instead of contouring, and had to stop for the second thorn. Then although I had planned on taking the obvious trail route, I instead decided to cut the corner to save some climb. That could have been okay, but after going by the unmapped new buildings near #8, I drifted left, and got flummmoxed by the fact that I wasn't coming up on the big trail. I came to a stop and spent three or four minutes trying to figure out where the heck I was, and when I did, I went to the control no problem (though maybe not by the best route). Time loss on that leg had to have been at least six minutes. And the rest went fine. Overcast and cool today, but quite nice weather for orienteering, really.
