I ordered Robert's book and it arrived in it's Express Post envelope today :!:

(I hope there was nothing else in there though because some bugger had ripped open the envelope somewhere along the way :twisted: )

Send him a PM and find out Gavin

I do run the occasional training course for club members. I also speak at various places on the subject of navigation. The next navex I have planned is the Bugger's Nav Night. I'm going to think of the most difficult plotting instructions I can, and hand them to people in a comp format -- but help them plot it. Then we'll have a course and each car will take it in turns to lead. The tracks will be on the harder side of things and it will be at night. Hopefully raining too. The idea is you come home tired frustrated but happy and knowing a lot more about datums, latitude, bearings, projections and UTM than when you started.

There is sufficient demand for training in Melbourne but I just don't have the time to run courses.

Hi Robert,

That was an excellent Navigation Exercise at Mt Dissapointment last weekend. It was also interesting to see different methods that people used in reaching the same answer. I did find that Oziexplorer gives a distinct advantage in this type of exercise.

Yep you're right. I did get home with a headache at 3:30am and I was only frustrated because the 80 series and the shorty Paj couldn't get up the last hill.

cheers
Alberto.

i'll add my "this is an excellent book!" review to those already massed here...

Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the help. The Paj did drive up that hill, he just was in the wrong gear and wasn't being assertive enough. But he went up without too much drama, much to his suprise I think.
