Night-O at Manitou Lake - Dropped to the Green Course in the dark
Night Orienteering is really hard!
This is a wooded area with lots of contour detail which makes daytime orienteering difficult.
Completely messed up #4 which should have been a very easy control since it was 50m from a bend in a trail. +22-5ish minutes there aimlessly wandering around in the wrong reentrant and haphazardly relocating on the road off the wrong bend back to the same reentrant.
Took #5 (long distance) extremely cautiously after that. fence to fence to fence corner to bearing when it would have been safe to cut off a lot of corner. walked too after nearly faceplanting
I just walked on careful bearings and payed attention to the map and went pretty much right to 1-3, 6-13.
