Quickroute
Time includes walk to the start and back from the finish.
UsynglO course at Shickshinny. On my way to 3, there was a tent out in the middle of nowhere that I decided I didn't want to get very close to. As I gave it a wide berth keeping an eye to make sure no one was coming after me, I lost track of where I was, so ended up on the trail on the ridge past the control before attacking the control and actually having to backtrack as I didn't really understand the map. (Perhaps that will be my next project - updating that map since it's so cool but missing lots of rock features.) Everything else went okay although I chickened out on a couple routes and took safe ones using trails. I'm really glad I took the trail option at the end; looking at it from below, I saw that the hillside is pretty rocky and steep. I wouldn't have minded pushing through the green, but I had already tripped a few times and it would have been an ordeal trying to get down the hill safely. Instead, the trail was so pleasant - covered in moss and gently downhill so easy on the body.
