Good old map and compass

Post by Big Bear »

Haven't done this for a while(used a map and compass that is) and was wondering if anybody knew of any books/manuals they would recommend to help dust off the cobwebs.
Thanks in advance

Simon King ( the nature chap) does a decent refresher on YouTube.
I recently experienced Plymouth City centre so that's why I prep.

The Ultimate Navigation Manual by Lyle Brotherton - hands down the best book on navigation I've ever read!

I found Navigation for Walkers by Julian Tippet a great help when refreshing my own map and compass skills.
