EDC compass

[Pete Grey]

A good quality road map is always useful in a vehicle, but large scale maps of the local area can be marked with points of interest, pharmacies, garages, hardware shops for tools and gas, obviously food shops, even allotments. I often go into new shops and see if they have anything worth noting, sometimes it can be surprising what you can find when you don’t expect to. After 40 years of hill walking I always have a compass close at hand, if you can find north you will never be lost.
