Nolde Forest (real 7.79k (+16%), 328m climb (wow!))
First time out in a month! Bad. Major change in undergrowth. Nolde is excellent ... I love the different feel of the place. I need to spend some more time there checking the park out.
I was slow, and made a couple of big route errors. No problems in the control areas for a change, just fought through too much for the sake of the line.
Errors:
0:30 - 1>2, lost contact, not used to map yet
3:00 - 3>4, coming out of 3, wrong turn, too much fight (RouteGadget is clear)
2:00 - 6>7, hesitation, then missed the indistinct trail and lost contact
1:30 - 8>9, overran turnoff for bridge, which was disappointing as I had made a point to glance at 9 from 3>4
0:30 - 9>10, low, looking for trail (didn't learn lesson on 6>7), hesitation
7:30 TOTAL (probably another 5 for current fitness level ... that was a fair amount of climb)
Really fun, I'm glad Hughmac3 dragged me out!
