We thought so too. Followed the mapped track to its end, took a bearing towards the control (thick mist), counted paces from where we crossed the ridge path. This took us straight to the wrong re-entrant facing NE not NW. Headed W checking a few more re-entrants. Hit a fence, no fence on map, gone too far, back tracked, attacked the control from another direction, refound same wrong re-entrant, worked round the slope a few 100m and hey presto, deep re-entrant facing NW, just beyond the unmapped fence. From this we concluded (1) the first track probably goes a fair bit further round than the map suggests and (2) don't expect mapping of fences by Stirling Surveys to be very complete.Originally Posted by ydt
Well you did ask! Quite a few other teams had a bit of fun with this one, but not as much fun as we did!
