When navigating with
a map it is important to
use Grid North as your
reference.
![Page 19: BASIC NAVIGATION Click on ‘F5’ to start.. BASIC NAVIGATION Contents List. Click on a chapter. Chapter 1 Basic Navigation. Chapter 2The Compass. Chapter](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102517/56649e565503460f94b4ea7c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Before using a map, it is
important to turn it so that
the features on the map are in their correct
relative position to
those features on the ground.

This is known as ‘setting’ or ‘orientating’
the map.
You should keep your
map orientated at
all times when
walking.

It will help locate your
approximate location more
easily and relate any
identifiable features on the ground to those
on the map.

There are several ways of finding North without a compass. The following three methods apply in the northern hemisphere:
The Pole Star Using a watch The shadow method

The stars of the constellation known as The Great Bear or The Plough can be used to locate the Pole Star? (True North)
The Plough constellation comprises seven stars. These two are known as ‘the pointers’.
![Page 24: BASIC NAVIGATION Click on ‘F5’ to start.. BASIC NAVIGATION Contents List. Click on a chapter. Chapter 1 Basic Navigation. Chapter 2The Compass. Chapter](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102517/56649e565503460f94b4ea7c/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
A line through the pointers, followed for a distance four times that between the pointers, will locate the Pole Star.

If the sun is shining sufficiently to cast a shadow, place a stick upright in the ground and mark the end of the shadow with a small stone.
Wait 10 to 15 minutes and use a second stone to mark the new new position of the stick’s shadow.
A straight line between the two markers runs roughly West to East.

It is important to measure distances accurately when hillwalking.
Measuring Distances
By measuring distances accurately you can calculate and gauge your speed of
travel.

If you know how fast you walk, you can work out how long it will take you to
cover a known distance.
Timing
For instance, if a cadet is able to walk 1km over reasonably flat ground in 15
minutes, it would take one hour to cover 4km in similar terrain.

In 1892 a Scottish climber called Naismith devised a rule to calculate walking speeds.
Naismith’s Rule
His basic rule assumed a walking speed of 4km per hour over normal (flat) terrain.

Naismith’s Rule
Climbing took more time, so he added 30 minutes for every 200m of climbing.
Steep descents also need extra care and time, so he added 10 minutes for every
200m of steep descent.

If a track or path leads directly to where you want to go, it would make sense to
follow it.

You could also use a wall, stream, ridge, electricity pylons, or any other linear
feature that leads the right way.

Going round the hill, neither gaining or losing height is called ‘contouring’.
Contouring – following the lines of the contours – takes less effort, but may take
longer.

Fronts and depressions are the cause of most of the poor weather we experience.
Fronts and Depressions
To try and understand what is happening in the atmosphere meteorologists draw
charts joining points of equal pressure – isobars.
