Hi Folks,
One plan of mine for this year was to learn a bit of navigation with a map and compass, pace counting and all that kerfuffle.
Started to look at compasses to replace the one I have currently which has no rotating dial (and the legend is almost worn away.
Considering the Suunto MC-2 but they're pretty expensive (so I better make myself learn it if I buy one)
They also seem to come in different models Q/D/cm/in/Nh, 360/D/L/Cm/Nh, G/6400, 360/G/D/L, 1:24000 or 1:25000 scale etc
Can anyone knowledgeable in these things advise what I should go for? As I don't want to get the wrong one.
Cheers
