I found myself disoriented and lost over my own training practice area
just last week. It took me a minute to triangulate rivers I could see
with the chart.

You have to be careful around Norfolk, where I fly a lot, if you're using
disused airfields as sanity checks of your course. Last Saturday is a
classic example - I had to double-check that Foulsham was really Foulsham,
and not Oulton.

(Incidentally, you can tell someone who spends a lot of time instructing in
Norfolk; our CFI knows each disused airfield in the area by the patterns of
the chicken sheds on the runways ...).
