Nolde Green, Pretty physical course.
there were some areas that were pretty tough for me to get through - from 2 to 3 for example.
nothing was that hard for me navigationally except for number 5, the charcoal platform in the middle of hell. i hadn't gone far enough and convinced myself i was by the pile of rocks on the map...turns out there are other unmapped piles of rocks. just as i was bailing out to relocate to the trail, i heard some crashing near the control ... lucky, spotted it. still, spent 12 minutes on a fairly short one!
all in all a good day in the woods, some hard areas but a great workout. saw lots of wonderful DVOA peeps (clem was there so early, was it really him or a ghost??)
but...i have to ask, do we need to remap nolde? the vegetation seems not reflective of what's on the map...
