Hi All,
I'm new to the site but with a keen interest in navigation and being outdoors that ha stayed with me throughout my life.
Professionally, my career as a navigator started at sea, training as a Navigation Officer and thereafter a hydrographic surveyor. After a few years at sea and university I decided to put my skills to good use (not..) and become a Police Officer. Twenty five years later I still maintain a passion for being outdoors and the essential art of navigation as a keen hillwalkier, cyclist and ski tourer. Originally from West Wales, now resident in the North West UK I try and take any opportunity to get outside, currently trying to impart the basics of map and compass work to my ten year old children who, at the moment, couldn't be less interested!
I'm looking forward to learning new skills and updating old ones.
