| 1. |
Bad route choice | does not include 3:08 map copy time. S of the parking lot, to path crossing, W of wall but above marshes, attacked off the distinctive spur. | |||||
| 2. |
Read map too late | overshot to R, came back from wall corner. | |||||
| 3. | +08:00 | Major blunder. Confused parallel features and wandered around the borrow pit for a few minutes before relocating. Failed to find the E-W path leading to the little clearing from the large cleared area, so left to the south and circled in along the stone wall. | |||||
| 4. | +01:30 | crossed the stream on a bridge, through the open field, attacked from the road SE of the boulder cluster, got one knoll too high. | |||||
| 5. | Straight, ticking off the wall bends and corners. | ||||||
| 6. | Straight. | ||||||
| 7. | +13:00 | First, spent 4:47 going to the car to get a 2nd layer. Then, took the path, went left at the Y, thinking I would reuse the 8-7-8 terrain. Crossed the 1st stream S of the stone wall, ID'd the 2 distinct trees, attacked off the 2nd and missed. Flailed around a bit, noticed the stream did not match the map, bailed to the ridge line, but couldn't fix position. Eventually bailed S to the path and attacked from the south, ticking off the boulders 300m S of the plotted boulder. From the last boulder, it was about 100m by approx pace count vs. perhaps 175m expected. Aargh. | |||||
| 8. | Past the distinct tree, N of stone wall, to path. | ||||||
| 9. | +00:30 | contoured W below the laurel. Overshot the reentrant by 25m. | |||||
| 10. | contoured SE. Cut just N of the tiny oval of laurel to the southern tip of the large laurel patch. | ||||||
| 11. | +01:00 | S to stream, then got a bit out of contact going uphill through the laurel. relocated at the path jct, from there, over the knoll, past the distinct tree, and in. | |||||
| 12. | +02:00 | WNW to road, turned left at the clearing, ran down the path looking for the bend. Didn't like the map. Jumped off the path when I recognized that I was going down a spur, relocated off the E-W wall, and came in from there. | |||||
| 13. | NE to trail, Samantha coming in, have to be quick here to hold her off. Turned NE off the main road at the island, cut behind the camping area, followed the straight line. | ||||||
| F. | Managed to stay ahead of S. Phew. |
