I planned this familiar walk using an OS 1:50,000 map.
I walked a short familiar route from home. On the walk I practised measuring distances on the map using the ROMA on my compass. I then calculated how long it would take me to reach a point on the map when walking at approx 4.5km/hr. I also practised setting a bearing and walking on the bearing to a point on the map.
I was happy with the accuracy of my measuring and timings. I got one of my bearings wrong but worked out how to correct it.
Total distance 6.5km
