I’m a little surprised no one has suggested that all marked land marks be within a few miles of each other, so as you over fly one, the next one is already in sight. (Or perhaps this is a given in the U.K.?)
If I understand you correctly, I disagree with that as a suitable technique. To me, the fundemental aspect of not getting lost is knowing not only where you were, but what time you were there. If you require 90+% of your attention simply to feature hop, then something else will be left out sooner or later. A good 10-15 mins between features allows plenty of time to look at the sky, FREDA, prep the next call, update the map/PLOG, etc, etc. But not necessarily at the expense of a fix on a really really easy to spot feature.
Sul,
Congrats fellah! I reckon you had a very valuable flight and you seemed to handle it all very professionally. Nice one
