orienteering at wynberg

I got disqualified for not visiting control no 12 at the event this evening. I had gone too high for no 11, once I realised my mistake I ran downhill, got no 11 and then turned left towards the bridge, which was my planned route for 12 to 13.

I need more practise planning routes in advance. I find that I get pre-occupied with the next leg (12 to 13), and end up making mistakes on the current leg (too high for 11).

This is my second DSQ because of a missed control, due to planning my routes in advance. I really am out of practise. The last few races have been filled with small mistakes and hesitation.





Pictured below is a control in a shallow depression, the approach was from the bottom!
