The instructor who wrote this taught me a lot, both pre-solo and
immediately post-solo.

As well as reading that page, click on 'Introduction' and read the other
linked pages as well. Bear in mind that its written around my home field
and translate it to fit your locality. The various turn points Martin
mentions in the Minitasks section are local villages, not BGA turnpoints.
IOW, think in terms of easily recognisable small towns, landmarks etc.
rather than competition turn points.
