Following on from the backcountry skills class last week, I've been looking at map compasses, maps etc.
There's a useful page on the Ordnance Survey website with some free, downloadable "how to use maps" type of guides. Very interesting if you're into that kind of thing.
Website page is here. Click the "Map Reading Made Easy" link.
