Screw up Nav Excercise

Well we were supposed to be doing, Bitteswell, Eyebrook today, Stuart asked me to plan it out before gettting to the school so i did (or so i thought)

This is my last lesson with Stuart who is moving onto pastures greener - or skies bluer - actually hes still going to be based at East Mids but working for Odnance Survey aerial photography on a twin.

Anyway, off we trot, arrive at markfield, set course for Bitteswell, gross error check - cr@p - ive screwed it all up, logged the headings as Eyebrook to Bitteswell not Bitteswell Eyebrook and then to compound it all, ive done the distances the right way around.

So we did some rough calc on the fly - diversion stylie and made the best of a bad job - not a great last lesson but hey it was kinda funny. Just goes to show, gross error checks arent that pointless :)
