Seems a little bit of remapping can do wonders. Day 3 was back into the day 1 area, only now it was called something else and more importantly it was remapped. Everything made sense! All the humps & bumps were on, vegetation was sensible and bare rock was now stony ground (still to be avoided). Our maps had a network of some 25 controls. After our now usual map walk to get into the map we dispersed to go control hunting. Depressions proved useful again, but compared to the previous days there were handfuls of things to use. Attackpoints and catch features completely missing on day 2 were waiting for the picking today. The forest remained rough to move through, but at least with a decent map navigation around really bad parts was possible.
The Forests were rather busy with all sorts of O celebrities with all the national teams in full action. Nico was encouraged by the fact that many of them did not hit the controls spot on. The only downside was that it was vey wet underfoot and the lack of studded shoes meant the going was slow and slippery. We were all also rather cold and wet when we returned. But despite that it was our most enjoyable day orienteering.
