Re: Magnetic North Pole
David sir, neither good nor bad. The needles and the cards are balanced to avoid grounding. Go too far north and they won't work any more. Field is vertical. I guess you'd use an electronic compass or old school astrocompass. Mostly we don't go to these places. The value for Dip I gave for Fairhead ...

Re: Magnetic North Pole

Re: Magnetic North Pole
Will it scrape the bottom of the case? I suppose It depends if you've a high Latitudes model which can accommodate extreme Dip. How to explain. The compass needle doesn't point at magnetic north. It follows lines of local flux. Luckily for us this generally averages out somewhere predictably near ma...

Re: Magnetic North Pole
Changes in the field are normal. Sudden and rapid change is noteworthy. I'm not sure they make much difference to the practical user of map and compass. I checked my home location with NOAA's NCEI service on December 4th and the calculator returned a value of 3.12°W (WMM) I checked again this mornin...

Re: Wild Atlantic Challenge
Hello Brian. What you say is right enough but unless I missed something, the possibility that lists of members may be handed over to another organisation (several references in the thread) may come as a surprise to many. There may be DP implications. J.

Re: Wild Atlantic Challenge
Seems a fair point and lets hope lots of people sign up for the event.
However the debate here started with an honest and relevant question and the contributors just ran with it. Distribution of membership lists/Data Protection issues/Association policies - not worth thrashing out?

Re: Wild Atlantic Challenge
Insisting that only the insurance selected by and sold through CI and BCU should be allowed - - is wrong. It promotes a monopoly, removes consumer choice where a mature and effective market exists. It effectively insists on a closed shop.
It is nonsense.
