[Tortoise]

You are speaking for some but not for all, especially not for me.

What I put in my head may be lost quickly especially if I'm not immediately

I need to stop and refer to my maps and guides whenever I come to a 
doubtful spot because I don't trust my memory and may need to double read 
the info to reduce the chances of me missing something important.
