Next, try the same thing for uphills and downhills. If you take twice the number of paces on an uphill just remember to double the pace count for steep uphills. Most important of all, when you begin pacing, look at a distant object in the direction you are heading and then go directly for that object. If something is in your way, take some side steps and then continue pacing in parallel to your original direction. Once you are past the object, side step back to the original path and continue pacing.
Pacing is only a rough measure so never expect it to be exact.
N to find something on the map. When I reach 300m I quickly scan for the object to confirm my location. I then go to the object and pace in another direction say 400m to the control. For each paced route, there is a percentage error. If you don't find something there to place yourself on the map, then the next paced route will add to the error.
