Everything you need to know is here, from map reading to navigating in
poor visibility. Simple descriptions alongside clear illustrations help
the reader to put Kevin's advice into practice, and master the knowledge
and techniques needed to navigate in all conditions.
Kevin sums up his approach to navigation as follows: "Successful
navigation should be simple and straightforward, and when done
correctly, it will enhance the pleasure you get from the outdoors, not
detract from it."
