DVOA ,Iron Hill Newark DE: RED

| 1. | Tom O advises being careful out of the start, so I heed his advise. I take the trails around to the ditch parallel to the trail. Then to the control. | ||||||
| 2. | Take the trail almost to house abd then over to control. | ||||||
| 3. | Run on trail parallel to road. Should have gone straight... End up low in the bowl where the water is. Climb out of here and finally find control. Another guy in the vincinity... | ||||||
| 4. | Strightline to I hit unmapped trail that I forgot about. Try to stay parallel to development. Go into the area. FInd it eventually. Don't like all these crappy green stuff under foot - but a t least it isn't stickers... | ||||||
| 5. | Again confustion to this control. Headed NW but use stream to relocate. | ||||||
| 6. | Trail and cross stream. Then try to cut through woods. End up moving away from traffic noise. Eventually head back to off ramp and find #7. Use this to go to #6 but a bit high. | ||||||
| 7. | Right back to control. First 7 controls in 59+ mins. | ||||||
| 8. | First half has been a mess - try to regroup and do better the rest of the way. Trail to below control. | ||||||
| 9. | Make a bit of a mess of this one. Very tricky area. Tom is standing up the hill at the start. Finally figure this out with Bruce Z. | ||||||
| 10. | First go to pond but then turn aound and run up hill to start. Chat briefly with Tom and then haul butt though the parking lot. Hi to Sandy F. and then through clearing. | ||||||
| 11. | Take the hard way to road - through some green. Over to trail abd then control. | ||||||
| 12. | Followed Ron B to control. | ||||||
| 13. | To road and then slow walk up the hill. | ||||||
| 14. | Pretty straigh. Surprised I find this. Small reentrants are not my strong point. Well, truth be told, neither are large reentrants, or ditches, or gullies, or... | ||||||
| 15. | I think I went straight. Maybe this is where there was another unmapped trail right next to the control. | ||||||
| 16. | Back up unmapped trail and through network of trails. Concentrate hear because I usually ness these up too. | ||||||
| 17. | Trail to GO. | ||||||
| F. | Hesitate for some reason and think I have done a 180. I even see the flags, but I check my compass. I am ok and run into finish. A better 2nd half - the last 10 controls in 53+ mins. |
