Totally agree, Bogie

In addition, I'd say challenges are an opportunity to learn something new, whether that's by following someone's suggestion, or looking at what others around you are doing to solve similar problems and either using the same technique or adapting it to your own style of map, The more challenges you do, the more likely you are to get your first shiny new compass one day.

I think I started at least 10 challenges (both Lite and Main) before I was even chasing the leaders

The main message here is: Have fun, and learn stuff
