In reply to UKH Articles:
In Essential Hill Skills, The compass, it is stated that mag var for the UK is currently 0 degrees. This is incorrect on two levels. Firstly mag var differs across the UK and no it is not 0 degrees. I agree in perhaps not including mag var when teaching early stages of nav. The terrain and leg distance that people starting on may be on may not warrant it, but to state it is currently 0 degrees is misleading. I often direct clients to the UKH site, and am now awaiting the emails asking me why I was asking then to adjust for mag var during micro nav. Stu
