That is why I said "I would" Rik, not what the op should do. Do please try to keep up with what i said lol...

this must be if you havn't a map anyway, as already stated north isn't much good if you don't know where you are or where your going and if you have a map and have been following it, you already know where you are. Incidentally magnetic compasses are all very well, but if you go round "moel shebod" in snowdonia, the iron throws compasses off. There is a petrol station there abouts that is accustomed to lost walkers.

Edit:
actually, I agree with rik_uk3 gps and electronic compasses, triangulation are probably the best way to go.

There is a guy that had a tv programme (not sure what it was called) he was called Tristan who took celebrities and taught then made them navigate across country only using natures indicators.

That's this chap, by the way: http://www.naturalnavigator.com/tristan-gooley

Worth a browse

Did a day's course with him last year; very interesting

Back to the thread......

I will pay more attention to your posts in future, I've tended to give them a quick browse of late as my attention drifted at around your second or third mention of having a brew with Lofty, my fault.

You could add me to your ignore list Rik, after all I tend to switch off every time you repeat ad nauseum the line about not needing more that a couple of £20 notes and a mobile phone in the UK... Instead of carrying a small tobacco tin with a few "possibles" in it just in case...Will you be knocking those who carry a possibles pouch next?

5 x £20 notes these days, inflation and all that, phone, debit card, button torch = UK survival kit

Possibles bags have their place when camping, its not like you walk around town carrying one.

No, we let our wives do that, it's called a handbag... Stuffed with pretty much everything except the kitchen sink IIRC.

Then there is "The man bag"
