Are there any good books for runners for navigating in the hills/mountains ?. I am aware of the courses the F.R.A. put on which look excellent but the next one i could get to is a way off. I am also a new member of D.P.F.R. would any of you guys have anytime to run thru some basics wheteher that is on a walk or down the pub as i really want to get to grips with navigation as i know it will increase my confidence.
IanDarkPeak is the BEST man for the job.

As you might have guessed i am a newbie and Iandarkpeak as already given me valuable info. He is a Fellrunning Yoda. Is he 900 years old and green ?. Maybe ?.
Ian is neither green nor 900years old but he is the smiliest man in fell running

I understand you can still get Mountain Navigation for Runners as a download - possibly via Lakes Runner? (The shop in Ambleside) - I'm sure someone somewhere will post where its available from if I've got it wrong.
Oh - they just did while I was typing.
'Navigation Techniques for Off-Road Runners' is worth a read.

Think it's generally had some good reviews.
I've got some good books on navigation but I can't find them.
On general mountain navigation, Peter Cliff's book is widely recommended.
Priniciples are the same whether running or walking.
