Very challenging conditions for today's navigation course on Kinder!
Accurate map and compass work was essential.

Tip for running in fog.

Wear your head torch around your waist (or chest, or hold it in your hand).
That way it doesn't illuminate the water vapour in the fog immediately in front of your eyes.

It significantly improves visibility.
