    Nav with map and compass only but.
    It could be safely run with a time limit and done in pairs. Just needs planning. Hooning along a track would be pointless.
    Nav to firing point.
    Bearing to a hard mid range target. No rangefinders would sort out the men from the boys.

    +1 something very similar is used to test military personnel that have high quality training.
    Even with the training and excellent background in navigation it's amazing how so few manage to pass.
    Gillies old man will know all about it and I believe is still the only pogue for lack of a better word, to have passed.

    Shit I can't remember. If I took any of you's for nav you all would now have a fucked sense of direction lol.
    Unless I used the baggies bar or the mess as a checkpoint.
