Orienteering 25:45 [1] 1.42 mi (18:08 / mi) +91m 15:07 / mi
Lavarone- Rocchetti (long terrain)
Yeah! Legs feel better/can actually move! On my way to Asiago, I had to go through Lavarone, so figure I'd scamper out for a quick loop by the parking lot. Also took *tons* of pictures of the terrain as I went around the loop, so I can remember what this stuff looks like in the upcoming months!
------------------
#12 - Up from the parking lot, along the road until the trail. Wow! The downed tree across the trail is indicated in dark green, nice and up-to-date mapping! Turned off trail shortly after that, along fence, to knolls, which did stand out as such.
#13 - Tumble down, then along trail on edge of camping. I climbed, staying close to camping fence over big hill, then could clearly see rocky hill that I should get to the far side of to get to saddle. Probably should have gone S of first hill though for a better approach.
#14 - Used trail on right in the reentrant, crossed big E-W trail, stayed right of hill to end up in correct open reentrant.
#8 - Along trail along marsh, went slightly too far, not sure cliff was the cliff, but no other, so turned up and yep, found the shallow spur.
#9 - Just contoured, instead of climbing up to trail and back down, because control will be at the bottom of the cliff anyways. Spike.
#10 - Ooh, think I got the route choice wrong on this one. I went pretty far right, which kept good speed and a nice approach from a saddle, but I think just too long. Better to go left, up the cliff where it becomes possible, and then up the second strong spur.
#11 - Back through the saddle, along hillside to boulder by reentrant. The green here must be deciduous leafy stuff that hasn't come out yet, it's currently totally open.
Then climbed over the top of the hill to the W, because it had fun contours on top. Yep, they all check out. The only thing I didn't like on the way down was a very clear shelf that is indicated on the map, but with not the same shape as I see there.

Platabeck (middle terrain)
Woo! This was so much fun. The terrain was awesome. It's sort of like the crazy limestone terrain from France WOC, but with nicer vegetation. And I was spoiled because the snow actually made the footing easier, could glide over the rocks on an easy coating of dense snow, where it was left. =)
Not as crazy rock-scotch as Turcio, hope the WOC terrain is more like this and less like that.
Also took lots of pictures, for aiding the memory.
