1. | North to trail, left at junction and follow it until clearing. Then due north again to control. Not a very direct route, but this control was rather tricky. | ||||||
2. | Climbed spur and started contouring on the North side of it. Was rather iffy so I climbed to the top and came down to control from above. | ||||||
3. | +01:30 | SSW until I hit the road. Hit it right where the little square fenced off area is. Then followed road until bend and bushwhacked to trail. Left trail going up spur. Missed a bit high / E. Might have been better to take the fence all the way. | |||||
4. | Straight / careful navigation until ditch (small catching feature.) Then W and spiked it. | ||||||
5. | On roads until last bend - up spur and run until the right reentrant. | ||||||
6. | Up to rough open - road until right bend. Saw the control from the road at that point. | ||||||
7. | +00:30 | On compass - missed a bit to the right but relocated using contours. | |||||
8. | +02:00 | On compass until first road, then left until cutoff. (Much fainter than mapped.) More compassing, crossing next 2 roads. A bit uncertain how far E I was, but contours made sense when I hit the final spur. Ended up in the reentrant W of control and needed a minute to read map and relocate. | |||||
9. | On compass, aiming a bit E to hit clearing. Bingo! Easy to find the reentrant from there. | ||||||
10. | Trails made a great catching feature. Checked my progress at sharp turn in W trail. On compass and running fast! | ||||||
11. | Again, running fast through clearing / downhill. Did not use trail (!) | ||||||
F. | A pretty decent sprint - passing Eddie on the boardwalk. |
