True north, determined based on geography and the North Pole, remains constant while magnetic north fluctuates due to the magnetosphere's activity. Tristan Gouli discusses the discrepancies between true and magnetic north, highlighting the challenges they pose for navigation with maps and compasses. The wandering nature of magnetic north, impacted by Earth's molten iron core, leads to intriguing natural phenomena, where understanding these concepts enriches one's navigational skills and appreciation of Earth's magnetic field.

Couldn't find your way out of a cardigan? Get into natural navigation with Tristan Gooley, award winning and bestselling author, expedition leader, and nicknamed “The Sherlock Holmes of Nature” by the BBC.

What I love about Tristan is that he is first and foremost a practitioner of fun, about how great it feels to notice nature’s signs and clues, about the fizzy thrill of uncorking our ancestral problem solving skills.

If you, like me, long to read the landscape and find your way through nature, Tristan’s books and courses will be your faithful guides.

I particularly loved his podcast The Pursuit of Outdoor Clues, which, in just six episodes, soothed my jangled nerves and taught me so much about nature’s whispers.

I’ll leave you to explore Tristan’s back catalogue if you haven’t already – and maybe we’ll run into each other in his online Natural Navigation course?
