As above, I'd like a reasonably comprehensive book on navigation, basics of map work, night and poor weather navigation etc.

Any recommendations welcome.

There is a book later in the series on Navigation, but as you mention 'basics of map work' I'd highly recommend starting with this, the first book in the series - it covers pacing, timing, contours, bearings, etc.

Very useful 

As above. Think Cicerone have one called 'map and compass' that might be out of print now but is an option

My book on navigation got lost.

Peter Cliff, Mountain Navigation. It's clear and concise.

And, I just noticed, out of stock. Sorry!

Mountaincraft and Leadership, fourth edition Paperback – 10 Jan 2013

Showing as out of stock.  Edition 3 available for a lot less.

Another vote for the Peter Cliff book.

All books on mountain navigation will have a section about adjusting for the difference between grid north and magnetic north. At the moment, in some part of the UK the difference between the two is so small it can be ignored.

For example, for Fort William magnetic north is estimated to be 0 deg 26 min west of grid north. 

Have a look at the NNAS Teaching Navigation by Nigel Williams isbn 9781851376087. 

A nav book written by and for orienteers that takes a slightly different approach. It covers all of the subject but comes to it from a different direction. 

Thanks all, that should keep me busy.

Bugger!  Still I suppose we should be flattered that it sold so well

Ive got 5 spare copies of the Peter Cliff book, If you PM me Ill send you one for a fiver.

Thanks! PM sent
