The crux of good navigation in the outdoors comes down to the right maps, a compass and developing your orientating skills. As such, investing in a good book on the subject will teach you all the skills that you need to know.
The maps that we sell are all produced by the Ordnance Survey, from their Explorer and Landranger ranges. Offering a detailed foundation on which you can plan your routes, the two types also enable you to select the scale of the map that is relevant to your needs.
Compasses & Maps
A compass, when used with a map, will help you to plot local landmarks or outdoor features with which to work out the right direction of the map and which way North is. Whilst a compass is a must, the recent introduction of GPS units, makes the task of finding where you are and where you are heading a lot simpler.
Paper doesn’t tend to get on well with wind and rain, so selecting a document case will keep your maps dry and in good condition for your next expedition.
Finally a set of binoculars is a useful companion to your navigation aids, to spot landmarks to help with your orientating and enjoy gazing at nature when you know where you are heading.
