Mountain Navigation

I bought a copy of the 6th Edition (pink title header where the Amazon image shows blue) as an update to the 1987 3rd Edition. The reorganised book remains "succinct, precise, clear an comprehensive". It is an invaluable guide to the beginner wanting to learn the elements of OS map reading and compass work in the uplands of Britain or someone wanting to brush up his or her route planning and navigation techniques.The 6th Edition has deleted reference to the now historical 1st Series 1:50,000 OS maps and now includes a short section on GPS.I advise the reader to make up his or her own mind where Peter Cliff offers strong opinions about certain topics, e.g., techniques for estimating time and the use of route cards.

Good book...worth having...hugely informative ....definitely buy if you're serious about hills, moorland or mountains.

I got it for my son He said it was what he wanted l have had no negative feed back

Member of Rescue team and ex-soldier. This is a great book and i still find it useful. Its no-nonsense and layman explanations are super. Its not a big book, short to the point which is what you want. Anyone wanting expert high altitude, ice/snow etc should maybe go for different issue but for the basics and intermediates this is the boy!

The classic guide to navigation. Everything you need to know and nothing you don't. Fits in a pocket - take it with you. I lost my original copy and immediately bought another, along with copies for my 2 nepjews.

A goog book from start to finish for the average navigator upwards. I feel basic skills are needed to be able to get the most out of this book but on the whole is good.the book came quickly and was packaged well, its layout is great and the photos are good.

This is the basic navigation information that I need . Perfect for somone like me who had basic navigational skills

Bought as a gift for a friend. I had an earlier version than this and it helped me learn the skills I have today. Can't recommend it enough.
