oops...
Thanks TR,
It's cos I'm down under this year, it messes with your internal compass don't ya know
...and that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
That reminds of the time I hadn't slept for 48, and was being taught Land Nav by a friendly Major, failed to carry the 1 on the compass calcs and ended up taking the fair Major on a long walk 100 degrees in the wrong direction.
After more then a few miles, the patient Major spoke up and said "Son, pull your head out of your ass, and your map while your at it, and look around you."
That was the night I learnt all about Dead Reckoning....
No other choice really, seeing as the said Major had taken my compass as a punishment.
