Model run at Passchendaele. Easy jog with some walking. Testing out the terrain.

A few things to note:
-Bare rock in white is a fantastic feature, bare rock in green can be pretty hard to see!
-Clearings were quite visible in the forest.
-Heath wasn't too bad.
-Clump the rocks together, use the outlines of rocky sections more than the rocks themselves until you get into the control circle.
-The subtle contour detail is really useful and remember bare rock can be mapped just as regular contours.
-Long bearings are easy in the pine.
-Use contours to the circle if possible for the faster nav.
-Light green is quite easy to get through, but definitely slower running (possibly half as fast).
-Darker green was good as a navigation feature.
-Rocky ground can be boulders the size of cars!
-The knolls and high points are often just mossy rocks, but pretty obvious in white forest.

For tomorrow:
-Keep good contact, relocating will be VERY hard.
-Clump rocks to simplify.
-Use contours for faster navigation
-Bare rock, unique rock shapes, and clearings for attackpoints.
-Careful bearings if there aren't features or you are going through thick green.
