| 1. | path to stream bend, straight. | ||||||
| 2. | wandered around a bit in what appeared to be a very broad reentrant. | ||||||
| 3. | straight to path, around, then attacked from due S of control at the path bend. | ||||||
| 4. |
Bad route choice | Considered the straight line approach too iffy to me. NW to wall, along wall to path, then turned on the N-S trail, watched/counted for the path bend, then in. | |||||
| 5. | Straight along the knoll, but hit the wall a bit N of the control. | ||||||
| 6. | Road to the first house past the bend, coming off the road near the large boulder, around the cliff line. | ||||||
| 7. | straight | ||||||
| 8. |
Did not like map | straight | |||||
| 9. | straight | ||||||
| 10. | W to trail, around paths to the bend, then straight. | ||||||
| 11. | W to open, crossed wall just R of line, and over the trickle. | ||||||
| 12. | doglegged back, used the indistinct trail, counting carefully to just outside the circle, straight. Never saw the pond, just the flag in the depression. | ||||||
| 13. |
Lacked confidence | Straight seemed really hairy, but I'm reassured to see others I respect went around on trails to the S. I came off the trail at the first bend after the green, heading just a bit E of due N. | |||||
| 14. |
Underrated difficulty Could not relocate Lacked concentration | Straight through. Thought I was in good contact most of the way there, noting the location about 200 m SE of the control where the reentrant points the same was as the direct line, but stuffed it up inside the circle (and again, and again, and again). Relocated from the cliff line NW of the control and missed again! Relocated from the cliff line again, and came in from the N and found it. Aargh | |||||
| 15. |
Did not like map | Straight, pretty carefully, found the right knoll (I think) but the wrong boulder (which was bigger than the one mapped. | |||||
| 16. | down to trail, stopped briefly to give some folks directions back to the "Fall Festival", and left the path at the bend just S of "16", missed spectacularly 200m W to the path near where I had jumped in to reach 13, came in again from a nearer path bend, missed again, relocated at the trail/wall jct and hit it. | ||||||
| 17. | Crossed the lake and attacked from above where I used the departing track of another to confirm the reentrant I had planned to run down. | ||||||
| 18. |
Bad route choice Bad map reading | Didn't notice the choice near the lake. Turned right on the first path (oops, intended the 2nd), followed the path through the open, to the top of the hill, around to the E and came in from the teepee. Still bobbled near the flag. | |||||
| 19. | Straight. Attacked from the Y-shaped path jct. | ||||||
| 20. | Dogglegged back to the path Y, then straight N to the SW corner of the open and then in. | ||||||
| F. | ESE to the path and in. That was quite a long "5.5 km." :-) |
