Event: NOY 2A
 

NOY2a - Hard Medium (nominal 4.1km) at Brush Creek.

#1 was straightforward - been there while setting up (last control on easy courses)
#2 took longer than I expected to get to marked creek crossing - area around control has regenerated a lot since I drilled an exploration hole there (more than 20 years ago - not sure if the 2 pits were from that work)
#3, 4 & 5 OK,
#6 took careless line out of #5 and ended up bouncing between powerline clearing and green in watercourse, then at end ran too far right & relocated off waterhole with rock face.
#7,8 9 OK
#10 passed southern end of clearing, then stood looking at waterholes trying to work out contour detail, realised I was looking at waterholes and saw control when I took one step to side.
#11 ran to much SE & ended up further from creek crossing than I wanted when I got to track - brief hesitation when I passed southern gully but no real time lost
#12 red finish banners 70m to left made navigation much easier - the banners were visible from near 11
