Bad map reading Could not relocate | Ran 10' from control which I saw, but was sure it wasn't mine. Oops. Wandered around just off map, before recovering. |

Not thinking clearly | Planned route from #4 to #3 so went 180 out - to trail. Oops again. |

Not thinking clearly | Planned route as if leaving #9. Subsequently thought that it took long time to reach trail. Still thinking I knew where I was (what's 300m give or take?), I negotiated trails, fooling myself at every turn, finally admiring very wet marsh with lots of open water to my right... wait a minute, that's the pond. Aarrgh! |
