NEOC Earls Trails BYOM: Green
cmorse
| 1. | More or less straight, using trails where appropriate | ||||||
| 2. | +00:10 | Got into the circle just fine, had to stop and scan up/down to find the flag just north of me. | |||||
| 3. | Again more or less straight, using trails where appropriate, attacking from trail to northeast | ||||||
| 4. | Trails, then slow slog up the hill | ||||||
| 5. | +01:15 | Trails, coming from the northwest, junction to knoll then over broad spur - started looking too early, felt further downslope than I expected. | |||||
| 6. | Trails, then up the spur/reentrant and in | ||||||
| 7. | Probably should have gone straight, but heat getting to me, so took trails as far as I could, then in from bend in prominent trail | ||||||
| 8. | +01:00 | Opted for straight on this one - contoured N a bit on the final hill, picked up trail, attacked from trail junction, but apparently stayed too high and subsequently went too far looking in the higher reentrants, correcting back and down when I saw flag lower down | |||||
| 9. | Pretty much straight | ||||||
| 10. | +01:30 | Mostly straight, but the had to hunt a bit since I was trying to gauge how far above reentrant bottom pit would be and wound up hunting to high initially. | |||||
| 11. | +00:45 | Done with cross country - took trail around to the north, managed to jog part of it. Was looking for distinct knoll on east downhill side of trail, never saw one, got to the boulder above stream (yellow course control) and attacked straight from there - slowly... | |||||
| 12. | +01:00 | uphill to trail, then carefully checking off trails but about 3/4 of the way came to a junction that didn't make sense so wound up heading due N to catch the larger trail I could identify from earlier - wound up too far west so time lost to correction, but right in from there as I had seen control enroute to #1 and had a mental picture. | |||||
| F. | slow trail shuffle, nothing exciting... |
