This picture was taken yesterday morning. The frost line on the top of my Land Rover runs close to a north-south line.
The morning sun has risen in the southeast and warmed the eastern driver’s side and southern rear of the car. The warming from the larger driver’s side is having a greater effect, which is why the main frost line is north-south.

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.
