1. | more or less right to it. started looking in the saddle, but then checked the map and saw it should be on the side of second knoll | ||||||
2. | on compass, right to it. | ||||||
3. | +00:15 | drifted pretty far left scrabbling around downed branches, figured it out when I got to the trail. | |||||
4. | +01:30 | stopped too soon and wandered a bit before reading the map closer, seeing that it was on the next hill | |||||
5. | straight | ||||||
6. | straight - probably would have missed to the right, though, if I hadn't seen some others | ||||||
7. | Along the trail, Clint disappearing in the distance | ||||||
8. | straight | ||||||
9. | Thought about the trail, but generally stayed straight, going through the patch of hemlocks with the veg boundary. Joe went by on the trail when I got to it, and then a slight bobble before finding the right hill | ||||||
10. | straight | ||||||
11. | overland. Easy enough to go out to the road, but what fun would that be? Picked up the trail by the big rock and easy from there. | ||||||
12. | +00:30 | drifted a bit right and to a rockface on the wrong side of the hill. | |||||
13. | Around the hill, then straight, could see it from a bit of a distance | ||||||
14. | +03:00 | Decided to go straight across instead of on trail, then messed up by coming out too early and not knowing where I was. | |||||
15. | on compass, could see it from halfway | ||||||
16. | easy, in and out. | ||||||
17. | +04:00 | drifted across the marsh without realizing it and out to the road. Thought for a bit about where I was before heading back in and finding it. Ali came in right behind me, but she was coming from the right direction. | |||||
18. | +01:30 | thought I was looking for foot of cliff, but it was on the knoll. Looked around for a bit before checking the clue. Duh! | |||||
19. | A little wobbly going around the pond, too far right then too far left. Once I got past the pond I realized I knew this point well and went right to it | ||||||
20. | Slow, but generally making good progress. | ||||||
21. | more or less on compass, checking off rockface and trails on the way, but ended up well left of it. It was easy to find anyway | ||||||
22. | out to the road, then roads to the intermittent trail up the hill to where it joins the upper road just W of the control | ||||||
23. | More or less straight. | ||||||
24. | N to bend in road, then straight across | ||||||
F. | slow |
