How did you get on?
Reminder - the compass bearings
Church spire 269ºC
RHS of pier 300ºC
Isolated danger mark (The Gear) 238ºC
Variation was 4º W Deviation was 8ºE
There are 2 useful mnemonics to remember
CadET - when going from compass to true add east (if going from true to compass subtract east)
(Cadbury’s Dairy Milk Very Tasty)
| Compass | Deviation | Magnetic | Variation | True |
| 269 | 8ºE | 276ºM | 4ºW | 272º |
| 300 | 8ºE | 308ºM | 4ºW | 304º |
| 238 | 8ºE | 346ºM | 4ºW | 342º |
I am rather hoping you we are able to do the conversions quickly enabling a quick plot of the bearings on the chart.
Here is the chart I have produced - I have left the origins of the bearings so you can see where they are, the other lines are course lines with direction above the line and speed in the box below the.
Well done if you did.
