NOY4 "Decap Poppethead" at Kitchener - Mod Short (nom 3.1km) - cold, still, sunny
took some of the cross-country route options rather than the safer and potentially boring track choices
1-2 pushed around a bit by vegetation and ended up further off-line than planned - approach into control from S was through wombat-hole city, and had to be very careful of footing.
5-6 couldn't see any point in going to track to S of line as the straight line was across part of the area that had hazard reduction burn, so almost nothing on the ground - thought I was going parallel to track, but the freshly disturbed ground I could see may have been a new unmapped track or part of the fire control line, so ended up further north than I expected and had to traverse along parallel to creek to find erosion gully.
enjoyed today's course - terrain was open enough to so could have used crutches instead of trekking poles, and been a bit faster.
