Compass/distance estimation exercise by Ethan at Magazine Beach. The control circle and surrounding area was whited out, and there were on average 3 streamers in the vicinity of the control. The goal was to get to the right control, using precise compass and distance estimation. Each streamer was labelled with a letter, letting us know if we made it to the correct streamer.
I originally thought I only got 3/9 controls correct. With an average of 3 streamers per control, and 27 total streamers for the 9 controls, that would be equal to random chance. Thankfully, I had mis-remembered 2 of the streamer letters, so I actually got 5/9 correct. Not much better, but better than by chance! I've always known compass isn't my strong suit, but yikes, clearly I should work on this more.
