| Becks: | I need a photo to begin a presentation of someone with a map in their hands looking very confused! If you have one you don't mind me sticking on a powerpoint to show to my lab, please let me know!
Cheers! |

| fossil: | Gosh, that must be just about exactly how I looked many years ago when at a map exchange during a world-cup ski-O race I was handed a map that was drawn entirely upside down, oriented to magnetic south. The only mistake I made was when shoving it into my mapholder I glanced at my compass in order to quickly orient it. Then I stood there in the middle of an open field feeling the stares of all the spectators while I feebly tried to figure out why I couldn't make any sense out of the map or decide which direction to take off in. It turned out later that the first map of the race had the same problem but I'd never noticed it. Which can only mean I must not have looked at the compass until the map exchange. It was eventually something big and simple, a power-line rather than a barn, that helped me sort out which way to turn the map and which way to go to escape the staring spectators. Once I finished and made my way to the showers I asked one of the top guns if he thought the race results would be thrown out. His response: "No, it was the same for all." |
