A COMPLETE COURSE IN NAVIGATION...
"Good navigators are never lost. They may be locationally challenged or even temporarily mislocated, but the are never lost!"
Over the past thirty years or more, Kevin Walker has run hundreds of navigation courses and written several critically-acclaimed navigation books, including Mountain Navigation Techniques (Constable, 1986), widely regarded as a standard work, and Navigation: Finding Your Way on Mountain and Moorland (Frances Lincoln, 2007). In this, the latest incarnation of his book, he has updated the techniques and made them even easier to use, based on feedback and experiences from his courses.
The simple techniques explained can be easily used by anyone, and in any weather conditions, giving walkers of all ages and abilities the freedom of the hills, providing them with increased confidence and a greater appreciation of the landscape.
The book has sections on the map and map interpretation, the compass and a comprehensive selection of bearings, estimating time and distance, relocation techniques, and how to cope with a wide range of difficult situations, from featureless terrain and poor visibility, to ridge-line scrambling and winter conditions.
A must for all lovers of the Great Outdoors, this book will be found particularly useful by hill walkers and mountaineers, and by anyone who likes to walk off the beaten track.
