you can’t beat a six or eight figure map reference and local knowledge IMO - used both in my time in various "jobs " mainly the fire service on Dartmoor - and made damned sure my crew could read maps to my required standards, vis they could navigate by them and a compass !! - now of course we have all this "tech " and (what the heck is ??) W3W - nope not for me thanks - tech can fail - old school works - always will and if you are out in remote spots - always think "WHAT IF ?? " tell someone where you are going - what time you expect to be back and take stuff in case you can’t get back - been caught out a couple of times by Dartmoor fogs , and had to use the follow a stream or river and you will find a road method during my 30 years living up there
easy now in the city - but then i don’t go out much .lol … oh and duff locations ?? had a few given in my time - but in my previous job there was usually a clue … such as smoke , but i have had to drive up to north Hessory tor tv mast a few times and look for it , one of those "gorse alight - Dartmoor " turn out sheets i loved soooo much - like there’s 380 square miles of Dartmoor … i could tell you tales !! … oh the best one ?? … we got mobilised to the moon coming up , honest … wonder what the W3W is for that place ???
