Note
Saturday's QR.
Only specified two points, most of the time the GPS was pretty accurate. It didn't like control 5 (I thought it very strange that I ended up going to 2 en route to 6)... and going to 13 I ended up bouncing off the track, but was surprised I did so. It seemed a little closer to the hill line than I expected. Now, I wasn't orienteering well at all, so...

Sunday's QR.
Support for my hypothesis that the map was wrong at 7 - I ran up that index contour re-entrant and up the hill (unmapped) slightly to the right and the depression control was to the right of that. I don't know what happened at 4, I suspect it was gps madness - but I wasn't expecting to come out so close to that water control (where the gps is accurate).
Where the control was at 9, up at the very top of the re-entrant, was not all that far from the west end of the hilltop.
Afaik, I was running (jogging/walking) south until I punched 11, so gps is off there.
Fun times, even if I wasn't orienteering wonderfully this weekend.

Boulderdash part II, Bear Brook SP, Green
Silly mistake to the first, lost confidence with where I was on the way to the first, so ran up a spur to double-check. Mostly ok after that. Seemed like the map wasn't wholly precise, but adequate for the job. Lots of fun and thanks to all involved.

Pretty poor navigation on my part the first half, then improved slightly.
Great terrain. Fun times, even if the colours (mostly green) were a little disappointing.

BM.
Slowrienteering. Still beat Transvestali to the first two controls... then she went off far, far away and I pottered around a little loop. Found a guitar case with guitar inside at one control.
Perfect weather.
