Glen Major

14 people - one complete newbie ( beginner). At the very beginning Brian wanted to "lead" a faster group. After we started the newbie was falling behind and I intended to say that he would have to manage by himself. But since Albert was there and was a bit more patient and was willing to wait.... I split the group - Albert, newbie, and two more people. Brian was pulling in a different direction - either he was searching for some trail that was supposed to be good, or he was getting restless to go.

After about an hour and 20 min I started bonking. Joniboy was there and I asked him to continue with the group. He did. Arthur stayed with me and we continued for another hour or so - I got lost in Walker woods - we went in circles, mostly double track. I must say that the newbie THOROGHLY enjoyed it and will be joining as a member.

As for me, I guess I will need to work on my navigation abilities. - Mitch
