1. | +00:30 | Slow start, went by path instead of directly in forest. Took too long to look at the map at start. | |||||
2. | +00:20 | Cut diagonal instead of going to faster path; lots of brambles, slowing me down. Should have gone parallel to path, not on it. | |||||
3. | +00:20 | A bit of a slog, too much walking in the green | |||||
4. | oh, the green... but nothing substantially wrong with my path choice. Just the usual slowness. | ||||||
5. | +00:20 | Should not have gone by path, and even then turned off before the bend which would have led me right to it. | |||||
6. | +02:00 | Slog city. Sharp thorny branches. Guessed direction, did not go by terrain. | |||||
7. | +00:10 | A bit of hesitation, getting a bit tired. The direction line from the little bowl shape was very distinct. | |||||
8. | +00:15 | Not enough terrain reading, some walking` | |||||
9. | +01:30 | Did not read terrain, went blindly on path for too long. Did figure an intuition that I was too west and getting too close to the path. | |||||
10. | +01:00 | Wrong bearing - "a bit west of N" is what I did, but I wasn't holding the map to magnetic north but parallel to main forest axe. oops. Plus tired. | |||||
11. | +00:45 | Too wide detour to map exchange plus tired walking. Correct estimate of where to cut from path to 11, just at the start of the baseball diamond. | |||||
12. | +00:30 | cut right through path instead of taking it to T junction as better breakoff point (and faster vegetation) | |||||
13. | +01:30 | Deep in the Green, slow slog and many new scratches earned. | |||||
14. | +00:30 | Should have read terrain to pass at left of green patch instead of through, and right at start of path. Angling from path went right to control. | |||||
15. | +01:00 | Caught my breath at path. Decided to go by known terrain to #7 then keep going north. Went a bit east, but correction was easy once in sight. | |||||
16. | +00:30 | This time I read terrain right, looked for long level terrain just before path descended. Followed line and saw control in distance. Down, up, punch! | |||||
17. | Got it by instinct more than anything else. | ||||||
18. | +00:45 | Should have gone straight to path, not parallel, slowed me down. I might as well have gone all NNE through woods at that point. | |||||
F. | +20:00 | Double brainfart: didn't align map to north, went back to South forest, even when path ended when map said it didn't. Found #12. Realised error, went to O-3; lost 10 minutes easily. Did not go to path, didn't realise what direction I was going, confused interesections, went off in wrong direction completely, found myself once at same interesection; lost another 10 minutes. Rest was easy but a bit slow due to tiredness. |
