Indeed, I left in the wrong direction once and as I realised it, instead of heading back I found a shortcut that took something like half an hour to get to the place where I had just been... and once I decided to choose the bigger road beside the one my route was on, only to see it was a highway and I had to come back.
And as I wasn't really sure how fucked up I'm gonna be after the Alps, I took especially the first half at a rather slow pace.Though I don't know if this would've actually made a difference in the end.

Yes, I keep thinking of all the time I could have saved by doing things differently. Mostly by staying on the main road, not doing some clever looking short cut down a road that might turn out not to exist.
And I'd get more efficient at packing.
Also a dynamo might even save time by reducing the need to look for batteries and faff around with charging.
