Wasn't expecting to be ready for it either, so even sweeter!

Normal! I reckon aircraft manufacturers do it deliberately to make the actual flying bit seem well within everybody's capabilities!

Ditto! Though not which is which, just oversteering.
I think at the start I was going way to slow, literally crawling - so I'd have to put too much pressure on the rudder, when it did turn I would go too far, then overcorrect back. World's slowest tank slipper all the way up... The 700 METRE field Zzzzzz.... Probably did 2000 metres. Probably wasn't great for nose wheel.
To be honest there is relatively little downside. To struggling with taxi-ing at the start (as long as you are heading away from the fuel pumps!)
