To make things a little more interesting I decided not to take a compass with me. It didn't make much of a difference, primarily because there were so many people orienteering at Manassas Battlefield Park that I wound up getting help finding more than half the controls. During a stretch of at least 10 controls I wound up following or had controls (inadvertently) pointed out to me by multiple people who were also looking for them. It was only at the very beginning and towards the end of the course that I it felt like I actually had to some decisions to make.
