walking 30:00 [1]

With the wheel. Set up a 100 m pace count and the compass course. This is a course that requires use of compass and map together. In an open field, make a grid of 12.5 meter squares, 50 m wide and 75 m deep. At each intersection a number is painted on the ground. The map is white paper with a dot (OCAD boulder symbol) at each intersection. A 5 or 6 control course requires visiting particular intersections on sequence. Accuracy is self checked by matching the code number on the map to the number on the ground. This could be made competitive or could be graded by using placing an SI control unit on the ground at each point. But today I just did it with self checking.

Setting up controls for Trail of Treats.

23c

ICO 2 hour night score O at Eagle Creek East. 23 of 45 controls, with 3 of the 5 "paired control" 3 point bonus, giving a score of 32. Good for second place to Mintore and edging out Aragorn.

Fun course but the rain that had held off all day finally started five minutes before the start, and continued throughout. Light, but cold.

Lost two or three minutes before giving up on a badly misplaced control 42, then finding it on the way to 43 - off by about 100m. I had determined I was in the right place almost instantly, but spent a lot of time scanning around with the headlamp, rechecking the description, looking behind trees etc. since this was one end of a pair, I really was reluctant to give up on it without being absolutely sure that it was nowhere to be found.

Lost another couple minutes figuring out how to get to 14 on the north edge of a pond (very overgrown shoreline, so it was either fight or wade through muck of indeterminate depth.)

Elsewhere, lost a few minutes in few second at a time batches due to rain spattered and foggy glasses, and general inefficiency in handling control punch card and descriptions.
