spiked:9/14c
O in the Pines Middle event
1. Down the trail to it; lost time readjusting in middle of leg as I had stupidly thought we were on a 1:10000.
2. Up to it, using trail and three rootstocks.
3. Trail to above it and then in.
4. Straight at it - a true spike
5. More or less straight.
6. GAK! Turned in too soon and wandered futilely for a while before relocating.
7. Straight to the hill then, contour around and bounce off cliffs above.
8. Down hill any way it worked and then onto spur, but I was way high (SSW)
9. More or less straight, but when I got to the spur, I got suckered uphill 50m instead of down. Saw my first person (David Yee) as i was leaving #9
10. Major screwup - got into the rocks way too soon (too far S)
11. Thought about contouring but went straight and could see it from the trail.
12. Crashed downhill and overshot by 15 m left and 15 m long before turning around.
13. Trail to it.
14. Took the right fork; interesting route choice there - only mistake is to take time to choose!
->In. Cracked a board on the bridge and nearly tripped.
