This morning I gave a talk to 30 pupils in Year 1 at my son’s school. Much scarier than talking to 500 people at the Royal Geographical Society!
I’ve just published a couple of articles I have written and which are exclusive to this site. The first is about whether we have a ‘sixth sense‘ that helps us navigate. The second is about whether men and women have different navigation abilities.

Welcome to the home of natural navigation on the Internet.
Natural navigation is the art of being able to find your way solely by using nature. It encompasses using the sun, moon, stars, weather, water, land, sea, plants and animals.
The Natural Navigator is the school set up by Tristan Gooley to research and teach natural navigation. It is also the title of his book on the subject.
If you would like to know more about natural navigation you can browse the website, read about Tristan’s natural navigation book, or listen to a BBC Radio 4 interview with Tristan.
