Hiking using only nature as a guide
How easy is it to hike to what is thought to be Britain’s most remote pub without the use of a compass, map or smartphone?
Before the invention of instruments, humans relied on natural navigation – a technique which uses the Sun, the Moon, stars, wind, weather, plants and animals to provide orientation.
The 91Èȱ¬ Travel Show’s Ben Zand attempts a three day hike in the Scottish Highlands using only natural navigation to see if it is possible.
Disclaimer: Before hiking in mountains make sure you are prepared – more information can be found at the Mountaineering Council of Scotland’s website (see link below).
If you are intending to use natural navigation make sure you also take a map and compass in case it is needed.
