1. | Along the trail about 150m, and then diagonally up the hill. | ||||||
2. | Over the hill, very steep on the way down (a warning of things to come !). | ||||||
3. | |||||||
4. | |||||||
5. | |||||||
6. |
Confused parallel features +00:20 | Went up a re-entrant too far north (and much smaller) so then went along the ridge. | |||||
7. | |||||||
8. | |||||||
9. | The first real route choice. I went up the hill opposite 8 (veryt steep), and down the re-entrant to the path junction. Then up another very steep hill to the ruined cabins, and along the dirt road. Dylan Theis caught me at the control. | ||||||
10. | Trying to get away from Dylan. | ||||||
11. | |||||||
12. | Dylan gets ahead - I can't keep up with these youngsters ! | ||||||
13. |
Hesitated +00:20 | I tried to reduce the amount of climb by taking the re-entrant to the SE of the one on the line (near no 9), and cross the two re-entrant systems higher up. It worked although I wasn't exactly sure where I was all of the time, and hesitating lost me about 20 s. Hit the trail just W of the road/path junction about 200m SE of the control. | |||||
14. | Over the hill. Very steep drop down to the control. | ||||||
15. | +00:20 | First challenge - to get down to the creek safely. DIdn't event think about looking at the map until I was safely down. Missed the trail leading to the control, hit the one behind (realised my mistake quickly). | |||||
