Compasses and Navigation
Q. I have just read your section on the use of the compass and found it very useful (Hill Skills > Navigation Skills)
Can you recommend a book which covers the same topic which I may purchase.
Yours sincerely

A. Mountaincraft and Leadership by Eric Langmuir (ISBN 1 8506 295 6) is pretty comprehensive and covers most aspects of Navigation - though the section of Magnetic North is now a bit out of date.
Hope this helps
