Five Stars worth the money
Great book Excellent resource for learning all the ins and outs of using a compass. Highly recommend.
this is a very good book. It’s focus is heavy on orienteering If you’re learning map and compass, this is a very good book. It’s focus is heavy on orienteering. I was disappointed it did not come with the practice map mentioned for the various lessons and quizzes. The answers are provided but without the practice map, supposedly in the back of the book, it did not help.
