This is a brilliant study, and from my limited experience, very true.
I've found that my orienteering style is much different when the sun is shining. I use the shadows to keep my direction, while when racing in overcast conditions I rely on the compass much more. Another note: People dying within a mile of where they became lost. - quitters.
This is *kinda* funny because I just talked to someone this weekend about how they got lost in the woods for 8 hours and had walked about 17 miles. In Georgia. When they finally found a road it was an hour and a half drive back. I want to send them this link but I'm afraid it might come across as insensitive! Ha!
