Derek,
Writing from the context of that trip what were your observations
and criticisms about the compasses employed by the others?
And what would constitute a 'decent compass'?

For the readership at large what compasses would they rate
as the best if they could be catagorized to be among the top
three?

Cheers,

Philip
