1. | +00:30 | Straight through the marsh, but this one was a bit slower and wetter than the ones yesterday. Missed a bit left, but corrected well. | |||||
2. | +00:30 | A lot of hesitation trying to keep map contact. Then missed a bit to the right. | |||||
3. | +01:00 | Got wet very wet three times. Went below the big cliff (pretty thick), then left to where the map looks pretty dry, but it wasn't (recent beaver activity/). Then across the trail to where the marsh wasn't green, but it was very wet, wading up to my crotch. Then I drifted left and bounced off the trail and had one more wet crossing. At least no problem finding the control! Better route was to take the trail around. | |||||
4. | Went a bit left, below the cliff along the marsh. Made for an easy attack, but slow going. | ||||||
5. | South southeast to the trail. Read the map well coming in and spiked it. | ||||||
6. | +02:30 | Misread the cliffs and started looking for it too soon. Had trouble seeing what was a depression on the map. | |||||
7. | +00:30 | Went by the pit to the stone wall, then back right to it. Had to be pretty close to see it! | |||||
8. | +02:00 | Along the edge of the open area, but then somehow drifted way left to the cliff 90 meters north of the control. Knew immediately where I was, but hesitated before the control because the map didn't make much sense. (I went through a grassy open area!). | |||||
9. | Straight, back the way I came. | ||||||
10. | +02:00 | Didn't want to risk the dark green swamp (which apparently wasn't dark green or a swamp), so I took the trail around, planning to leave it at the bend and go throught the rough open area (which apparently was greener than mapped). But when I tried to cross the stream, the mud sucked me in, and I started cramping trying to extricate myself. So I gave up on crossing and went around on the trails. After crossing the marsh, I took the trail for a bit, then along the cliff to the little deadend trail, then around to the right, coming in on the trail that passed right by the knoll. | |||||
11. | Trails to the right. | ||||||
12. | +02:30 | Just lost it. Bashed due north to the trail, then headed west but somehow took the trail going southwest and landed at a junction in a clearing. Stood there like an idiot for what seemed like an eternity until I saw where i was on the map, and proceeded on. | |||||
