5.0 out of 5 stars Great book
Another great book. I bit light on the new gear out there, but the substance is perfect.

5.0 out of 5 stars Orientation en randonnée.
Simple, pratique et efficace. Une approche orientée "pratique " traitant l'orientation dans le terrain, la topographie et l'utilisation de la boussole. Reste basique mais approprié au débutant comme au randonneur confirmé. En anglais facile et d'un format compact.

4.0 out of 5 stars Staying Found - book review
