C • Too modest... 3

Orienteering 50:00 [3] **** 3.5 km (14:17 / km)
shoes: Adidas Swoops OLD.

Scotjos Training. Plean Country Park.
I did 4 Map memory excersises. The irst one was horrific, + I seriously didnt know where I ended up, But after that it got much better as I learned to simplify more + only pay attention to the details that I required. By the fourth one I couldnt have been better if I had had a map with me....

Orienteering 20:00 [3] **** 1.8 km (11:07 / km)
shoes: Adidas Swoops OLD.

Scotjos training. Plean Country Park.
A simlification exercise. Our map had only water features (streams, ditches, marshes, etc...), small paths + formline contours marked.

Orienteering 30:00 [3] *** 1.8 km (16:40 / km)
shoes: Adidas Swoops OLD.

Scotjos training. Plean Country Park.
Speed exercise. Once again there were paths missing from the map. I was pretty rubbish to begin with, I think this was due to lack of concentration + letting the paths put me off. But once I got into it I improved + really enjoyed it.
