Good map reading skills are an Essential skill for anybody going onto the hills.A recent geocaching hike turned out to be real test of Mountain goat's & my ability to get a bearning in heavy fog,at times Visibility was down to about 14 ft & in an environment covered in fog it's hard to orientate yourself.

Although a G.P.S is a useful i think i would prefer the map & compass for navigation
