Half a mile is a huge error.  Rather than we suggest its source, how
about you take this as an opportunity to practice debriefing and
analysis?  Maybe go back into the field with the person who set the
course.  Please, identify the source(s) of the error and write us a
followup report!  I for one would be very interested to read it.
