My compass work was definitely not good today! And my pace count didn't seem to be working either - sometimes things would show up before I expected them and other times I would stop way too soon. Perhaps I'm just getting careless. Still, beautiful weather and fun to be orienteering.

One silly route choice and one major error. On the route choice I thought about going a bit out of my way to take a trail route around a steep hillside but then decided how bad could it be and just went straight. And regretted it. Had to sit down to get down and even that felt treacherous. Then thought I was reading things into what I knew would be a tough control, but my track shows I was way off. Got lucky - after way too long - and found a control later on my course and was able to use that to relocate. I was not where I thought I was!
But the weather is fabulous and it's fun to be orienteering on challenging maps.
