Great job, thank you for the really useful tips to tackle the most common and annoying errors. You are right that even when the error happens in the circle, it's roots are typically in the beginning by having no plan how to find the control in the circle and where to attack from. This is my biggest struggle so far :D. For us, self-coached, self-learning orienteers your videos are very valuable!

Thank you, found it very helpful. The thing that is the hardest for me is when I take my eyes off the map, I find it hard to relocate it. Also when i'm close to the control, like very close, I manage to not spot it, even though it's visible clearly.

Thanks a lot for this series. The format where one of you explains and the other sums up works great!
The tracks you are going through are way beyond my level, but hearing your thought process has helped me a lot in my own orienteering.

This is one of the best orienteering discussions I have seen. Great work.

Thanks so much for this series of videos guys, I'm new to orienteering and even though I've only done 4 Sprint events so far (mostly night races on golf courses), I've found the info incredibly useful. Definitely noticed a big improvement once I started applying some of the principles you talked about!
