Paloheinä taitotreeni by HS

At first I thought I'd do the whole training, 20 controls. After about 5 controls I realised it'd take me the whole day.. Struggled a lot, I'm just not great with a compass and I struggle to go straight in terrain. Got especially confused by all the trails. It's weird as normally I'm able to go quite straight even without a compass: apparently I'm quite good at reading the terrain and now without the terrain on the map I struggled a lot..

Couldn't find number 9, got totally confused and had no idea where I was. At 5 I was equally confused but was able to relocate (pure luck) but with 9 I just couldn't find myself. Should've had the full map as well maybe.. Had decided to anyway do half the course today and with 9 being the last one on the first half I decided to give up instead of trying to jog the trails to something obvious to be able to relocate

Did a suggested 5km course in Maunula

Messed up some controls, surprisingly tricky. Map quality also not great from work printer
