Excellent video with a good sense of humour and great examples Summary: 1) Realise that you have/are going to make a mistake @6:33 >Practice catching yourself when you are about to make a mistake @10:48 by realising + avoiding common errors, for example incorrect distance judgement, inaccurate compass bearings, making the map fit the terrain even when things seem slightly off @5:58 2) Stop (or slow down) @6:54 3) Remember when you last knew for certain where you were @7:03 >Observe the terrain when you are running (Seeing one feature nearby may save a lot of time when trying to relocate) 4) Imagine possible scenarios as to how you might have messed up (apply terrain memory) @7:24 >Check common errors (see 1>) 5) Identify where you are and form + implement a new plan as to how to take the control @7:49 >Stay calm and be careful @9:29 >It may be worth jogging to the next control to regain energy and composure and also to avoid the "headless chicken" act where you keep making mistakes and running round in circles (see relay example)
Great explanation, thanks. It would also be great if you would take the first situation of your relay and comment what whould have been the better approach. It seems that features are less distinct there. (And wow... M20 - 11 years ago??)
