NEOC Meet at Gay City. $10 for pin punching, whoo! Having said that, once that little scaryness was out of the way, it was a very pleasant course in surprisingly good woods for June. Plenty of path routes and some good choice legs. My legs felt bad - my quads just didn't want to go anywhere, and it made me feel pretty miserable physically. Navigation wise no great boos, but a few small time losses. Faffed in the thicker re-entrant between 3-4, should have looped even more left, and decided to do it straightaway. At 5 I never saw the wall cross the path, my AP, but realised I'd passed it thanks to the hill shape and only overshot a little. Almost screwed 8, despite actually seeing the distinct tree, didn't see the kite where I expected it and started to think I'd not gone far enough. Then I saw reach zero in on the kite like a laser guided missile, and it was hidden behind a pile of branches exactly where I thought it should have been :s. Wrong route to 9, should have gone a little west or maybe very west to the track. After that fine but very slow.

Seems I didn't go anywhere near the significant tree on the way to 8 after all. Might explain my lack of confidence in finding the feature.
