Glow-in-the-Dark Compass

Measurements: 4.5cm in diameter No batteries required Recommended age 5+

Lightweight, but sturdy, the metal case houses the sensitive magnetic needle. The glow in the dark face of the compass shows the eight cardinal directions (north, south, east and west) together with the ordinal directions (northwest, southwest, northeast, southeast) and the degrees of the compass are displayed around the outside of the face. This allows you to take bearings on the compass in the traditional way (i.e. what people did to navigate before there was GPS ). This steel compass is a unique gift idea for a child or grandchild who is thinking about or is already involved in scouting or a young person who is keen to get out and explore the wilder parts of the world. It will make an ideal Christmas or birthday gift to inspire a lifetime of learning about the great outdoors. Compasses
