Orienteering 3:42:27 [3] 11.0 mi (20:13 / mi)
shoes: Solomons
Terrible Course
Point 1 went well
At point 2, I was overwhelmed by the detail on the map. I made it to the collection of three marshes but after that I moved to far to the SW. i hit my backstop of the marshes but was unsure of my location along it. (Need Simplification)
Point Three was my worst point of the day. I used tyhe trail and two swamps to funnel myself near the point. From that location i was unable to find the point. I misread the terrain and I was intending to find the point on a cliff face. instead the point was on the opposite side of the cliff face above the swamp rather than on the same contour as the swamp.
From there i progressed well until point 7. The long leg of point 7 went very well and I used trails to reach the collection of three swamps. As I moved through the swamps, i came onto the trail. however, i thought I was on a different swamp. i then missed the point and ran into the water pool. From there i was able shoot an azimuth and hit the point.
Point 8 was my second worst point. I made a parrallell feature error and spent too much time looking on a different cliff face. Eventually, I moved north and found the point.(Needed to use pace count).
Pint 9 and on all went well. After three hours in the woods my splits slowed down but my navigation was solid.
Coomments
-Pace count
-Budget time when lost, if i cannot find it i need to book it to a linear feature and reset from there
-Simplification to cut down on the unnecessary rock features.
