Answer a walking and hiking question
Got an answer to the following Walking/Hiking question?
Hello, many years ago when trying to learn how to read a map and use a compass, I knew of an excercise and I wonder if anyone can enlighten me as I have forgotten how to do it. Basically the excercise was to pace say 100 double paces on a compass bearing then repeat two more legs of equal length and the object was to arrive as accurately as possible at the start point. I feel sure that the initial bearing had to be between two points for this to work although my memory has sadly faded over the years. I would be very grateful if you can enlighten me. Best wishes, David
