Fully updated edition of Tristan Gooley's classic, The Natural Navigator
Tristan Gooley set up his natural navigation school, The Natural Navigator, after studying and practising the art for over ten years. His passion for the subject stems from hands-on experience. He has led expeditions in five continents, climbed mountains in Europe, Africa and Asia, sailed across oceans and piloted small aircraft to Africa and the Arctic. He is the only living person to have both flown and sailed solo across the Atlantic. Tristan is a Fellow of both the Royal Institute of Navigation and the Royal Geographical Society and is the Vice Chairman of Trailfinders. He lives with his wife and two sons in West Sussex.
The Natural Navigator is a wonderfully stimulating book. Tristan
Gooley sidesteps technology to celebrate our own powers of
observation, and suggests that the art of natural navigation is
something we should never have forgotten
*Michael Palin*
Gooley is a fine writer with a philosophical passion for the
subject ... his advice is at times glorious in its simplicity and
fascinating in its execution ... his advice is so well structured
that even enthusiastic amateurs will find plenty to get to grips
with
*Irish Times*
Wonderful... This is the sort of charming and inspiring book you
want to recommend and buy for others. A must for any lover of the
outdoors
*Daily Telegraph*
The best nature writing changes the way you experience the world.
Tristan Gooley's The Natural Navigator will teach you how to find
your way using not just the moon, sun and stars but spider's webs,
tennis courts and even ruts on a track. He throws in entertaining
anecdotes from the history of navigation and from his own
impressive Atlantic journeys, but really he's giving you an
addictive hobby, and a newly refined sense of time and place
*The Sunday Times*
You enjoy the walk more if you're trying to spot the little clues
rather than look at the map
*Evan Davies*
