"Long" sprint at Springton Manor in Glenmoore. 2.5 km Unknown map scale
Low 70s and a bit humid, and grasses were wet from previous showers (and current light drizzle). We'd driven through a short downpour on the drive down to Springton, but the forecasted thunderstorms did not materialize.
Left 4 in wrong direction and fought through green woods (dumb). Stayed in woods 14-15, had Dave and Pat also headed to 16, and then took woods route to 17 (too slow and scratchy).
45 minutes was enough today, so I didn't go out on the slightly shorter one (2 km) which visited many of the same controls.
Thanks to Steve and Nate, and Sandy at the computer.
AOWN note: Saw an ebony damselfly somewhere in the woods, only briefly, but long enough to know it had black wings, and wasn't a dragonfly.
