Training at Nethy Bridge. Map was fairly bad. Many features missing or wrong.
My big issue today is that my precise compass is very bad. I have a tendency to stray to the left, and I seem to have a tendency to overcommit to the left when trying to approach the control. Improve by precise compass practice, and shorter term expect to stray left more often, try aiming off on both sides of the needle, make use of distance estimation, relocate on the line I'm on rather than major direction changes that I'm prone to.
