Ran the long course from the Wednesday event I designed last week. Legs a bit tired from the Street Scramble; I was aiming for sub-35 but didn't quite make it. Was bested on nine splits - props to those who beat me on my own course :)

After running, I did some map-updating. It's ideal to do that after the event is held, right? The main issue is that a number of minor social trails have formed, which pose a dilemma. Generally they lead nowhere and peter out sooner than later (usually with some form of teenager debris at the terminus) and are therefore useless for course planning. However, the junctions are sometimes quite apparent, and the first five or 10 meters of the trail can appear perfectly legit. Ergo, an orienteer may easily discern an unmapped trail and be understandably confused - especially as trails are the main navigational aid of said orienteer in this situation (i.e. when most of the map is medium or dark green). In addition, these trails are invariably not "approved" by the powers-that-be, and it feels like legitimizing their existence to recognize them on the map. You know, kinda like how Murica & co. refuse to recognize Palestine.
