My Forum

Hi,

Ye searched everywhere and its the cheapest by some way, its definately the right one.

Thanks.

Hi,

Ye just been looking at the different models funnily enough.

Can't see me wanting anything more than the Ranger, probably the field one would be fine but its not much more money to go for the Ranger.

Just seen them for the bargain price of £13.75 on fleabay, they are more like £20 everywhere else!

Thanks.

Huskyman: Thanks for that, I do have a friend of mine who is handy with a compass, just wanted to read a little more into it also.

Jake: Lol 'Cliff', he was born to write the book, just had a look on Amazon and the reviews look great, its just what I wanted really, especially being fairly small and thin as they say, I can take it with me. Think I will order this, thanks.

Peter Clinch: Ye I will look into that, seems like a good way to learn.

Sam09: Is it this one?  http://www.amazon.co.uk/Navigation-Walkers-Julian-Tippett/dp/1871890543/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1336982557&sr=1-3 Seems to get good reviews too. Thanks.

Now, I know they pretty much do the same thing and probably any proper one will do, but can anyone recommend a good compass, which one do you guys use?

Hi,

I'm 31 years old and live in Snowdonia, lucky me!

I have been mountainbiking for a number of years, mainly at trail centres but also on bridleways etc around the local area.

I really want to start hill and mountain walking, I'm shamed to say that I live fairly close to Snowdon and have never been to the top - even on the train! Shameful.

I want to start walking the Snowdon range, Cadair Idris, the Moelwyns etc, so will be looking for help and advice from you guys if possible.

I have plenty of questions already but I will post them in the relevant sections of the forum.

Also my brother has recently emigrated to Switzerland, we are already planning a walking trip out there.
