The Lost Art of Navigation
Saturday 14th September | 13:00 - 14:00
This talk will start with solo crossings of the Atlantic in a light aircraft and then a small yacht, before plunging into the very rare art of natural navigation. Tristan describes how his love of the subject grew from realising that electronics were getting in the way of a good journey and explains how he learnt to find his way using the sun, moon, stars, weather, plants and animals. He has used natural navigation in the desert, on ice, on oceans and in the English countryside. Tristan explains how these ancient techniques can be used by anyone willing to try something new and how natural navigation can enrich all journeys, large or small.
Tristan Gooley is a renowned explorer and navigator as well as a journalist and broadcaster, Gooley has led expeditions across five continents, piloted small aircraft to the Arctic and sailed across oceans. In his ambitious new book The Natural Explorer, he encourages us to increase our enjoyment of every journey we make, from the shortest of walks to the most epic of voyages.
