Section outline


  • We're now getting ready for our Pinnacles trip.
    Here we'll look at maps:

    • scale (eg 1:50,000) and distances (horizontal map distance & slope walking distance) 
    • gridlines (true / magnetic / true north)
    • longitude and latitude
    • features (roads, buildings, cliffs, streams)

    And, we'll look at compasses:

    • Adjusting for the difference between magnetic and grid north
    • Bearings from map and from land
    •
