Monday 1st October - Lesson

We will be looking at Bearings.

We always take a bearing from North and work clockwise.

The basic diagram to remember is:



We also came across back bearings, which is the bearing in the return direction and is given by adding 180 degrees. Remember to always return to zero when reaching 360 degrees.

i.e. Bearing = 270 degree. Back bearing = 270 + 180 = 90 degrees, not 450 degrees.
