Underrated difficulty Confused parallel features +00:45 | Dropped off trail on line through what was mapped as light green and white and got stopped by serious deadfall. Fought it around to the left, and saw an earthbank up ahead, but it was the one on the other side of the trail, so turned back to the very small earthbank where the control was. Two hard falls already! | |||||
2. | Easy control, but walking most of the way up the hill. Tired already, and only 200m into the course. | ||||||
3. | Seemed longer, but basically fine. | ||||||
4. | Straight, fine. | ||||||

Bad map reading Confused parallel features Did not read control description +01:50 | Along the pond through the open building and straight. Somehow got off on stream that is mapped as a trickle and is actually much further SE, as I went straight in from the yellow. Thrashed around in the stream, fell again, cut over to the other stream and back and then had a bit of trouble finding the bag, even though I had seen it from a distance. Nasty. | |||||
6. | Easy navigation, but incredibly hard to get up this hill. Seemed much longer, but I was patient and waited for the trail to go SW before jumping off. | ||||||
7. | Around pine saplings to the left, then in on the yellowish path. | ||||||
8. | Out to the trail and to the bend south, then around through the yellow patch and the smaller trail. | ||||||
9. | Straight, no problem. | ||||||
10. | +02:00 | Trail past the hilltop, then pretty much on the line. Passed two significant unmapped gullies, which were kind of confusing, and thrashed through some pretty slow and nasty green stuff. | |||||

Confused parallel features +01:15 | Ran along base of unmapped large earthbanks below smaller mapped one that had the flag. Back and forth a bit before hitting the stream beyond and then heading up. | |||||
