Orienteering 34:00 [2]
Stopped at Cuivre River at dusk on way back from state GPML in Columbia. Forgot compass and gaiters. Short course was disastrous. Learned how dependent I am on compass to keep map oriented. Also, 1:15000 scale probably made it harder. Being off by 20-30 degrees and not sure of size of contour features really thourgh me off.
Lesson: Reinforced need to constantly glance at compass and map to hold orentation, especially across bland spur and flat areas.
