Product Description
Book Description
'The perfect book for getting you started on your own adventure' Ranulph Fiennes
Product Description
Starting with a simple question - 'Which way am I looking?' - Tristan Gooley blends natural science, myth, folklore and the history of travel to introduce you to the rare and ancient art of finding your way using nature's own sign-posts, from the feel of a rock to the look of the moon.
With Tristan's help, you'll learn why some trees grow the way they do and how they can help you find your way in the countryside. You'll discover how it's possible to find North simply by looking at a puddle and how natural signs can be used to navigate on the open ocean and in the heart of the city. Wonderfully detailed and full of fascinating stories, this is a glorious exploration of a rediscovered art.
The Natural Navigator Pocket Guide is a user-friendly, practical book and the beautiful illustrations are a useful tool to help travellers on their instrument-free journey.

Format:Hardcover
Just purchased the 'full size' hardback copy of "The Natural Navigator" by Tristan Gooley as part of the wife's Xmas. (Size is 22cms x 16cms.) After some thought decided to get her the advertised 'pocket size' version as well so she could take it with her when she goes walking. I purhased this, in hardback, only to find it is in fact 20.5cms x 13.5cms in size. Just under 'full size' version. Not really what I was expecting, I was expecting something that would actually fit inside a normal pocket (as implied) for easy access and reference. The content is brilliant etc, no complaint there. Would Amazon consider printing the dimensions of a book when they advertise it? (especially 'pocket size' versions!) It would be a useful exercise to enable customers to visualise the book, especially those advertised as 'pocket' type publications.

Another great book from Tristan Gooley. A must have item for everyone with an interest in Navigation and the outdoors. The content is similar to the previous book but more instructional. I really like the format; this is something to throw into your rucksac for every trip.

An excellent book, purchased as a gift for my walking friends. Sort of book you can use to drive people mad with bits of information. Good value for money.
Listmania!
