Narrative:

Misheard taxi instructions. Taxi 'C' to 'east' instead of 'C;' 'F;' then 'east.' blew over a couple of barricades after turning on to taxiway east. Idle power was used for the turn. Commercial chart labeled 'F' in red; indicating to myself that it could not be used to taxi for my aircraft. Supplemental information from acn 737789: back side of clock was a factor.
