"Petites précisions

Il y a u 5 versions différents
1 la version originale après les relevée de terrain
2 la version après la demande des contrôleurs IOF des suppression automatiques
3 la version après des retouches et ‘simplifications’ devant l’ordinateur (demande des contrôleurs IOF)
4 la version après le passage des les deux cartographes suédois (impose par IOF) sur les carte de Longue finale et Middle finale
5 la version finale après mon passage derrière les suédois (demande de comité d’organisation et tache inclus aussi dans mon contrat)

Il a fallu beaucoup de diplomatie et de ténacité de la part de JDG et beaucoup de travaille en plus pour moi pour qu’on évite le pire (simplifications a l’aveugle et illogiques, dessins fantaisistes a la maison devant l’ordinateur, etc.…sur les ensembles des carte)

Si vous voulez mon avis, je préfère de loin la 5 eme version.

En tout cas, ça fait vraiment plaisir de voir comme les Suédois sache mettre en valeur le travaille de leurs cartographes et qui passe presque comme les sauveurs de ces Championnats après une bonne dizaines de jours passe sur le terrain…..

Vous pouvez demander aussi l’avis des traceurs qu’ils ont passe pas mal de temps sur les versions 1, 3,4 et 5"

C • Like it. 33

Packing boxes, moving boxes and furniture, driving U-Haul, packing then chucking stuff in 14ft U-Haul, smashing lamp, driving said stuff through a thunderstorm to Peekskill. Moving shtuff indoors. Not unpacking. Dinner in Ruben's, recommended.

Thankfully my name is not Ian so I had some lovely colleagues to help me out.

C • You just threw that in there... 2

Went to the doc today, just 'cause she's in Rye which is a long way from Peekskill. She said she had run out of ideas, unless possibly sleep apnea, but she didn't think that likely. Nothing surprising, but wanted to check in.

Then dropped a couple of boxes of clothes and shoes and stuff up to Peekskill, primarily so as I can reuse the boxes. Hopefully everything will be spick and span when the bulk of the stuff arrives tomorrow.

Lots of time in bed the last two nights, still tired today. Hmm.

Event: WCOC Tarrywile Park
 

I still haven't worked out a way of getting to Boulderdash that doesn't involved many hours cooped up in a car with Radiolab (starting from Peekskill).

WCOC Tarrywile

Duracell bunny Carlyle put on a fun event in Tarrywile. I heard one of the Yale newbies say upon finishing, "I am an orienteer for life." And rightly so.

My proselytisee didn't come because the weather was nice enough for climbing, but she is recruiting people to come to Highlander.

I made a couple of wee zigzags, many small hesitations and a few 20s ones but no proper mistakes. It's such a different sport going slowly. Oh, I did run off the map, somewhat intentionally. Edit: Forgot I lost time on number 1, cut in apparently a little early, had to run up the stream, very unsure of myself. Map was pretty dodgy until we got into the woods.

Over by 14/15, there were hundreds of birds chirruping away in the woods making an awful racket. On the way to 16 they went eerily silent for maybe four seconds, before starting up again.

Very humid out, so tough going, and Tarrywile ain't exactly flat, so I'm pretty tired now.
