Anyone got any good resources for teaching night nav/low visibility navigation?

Have I missed the official OcUK hilwalking thread?

Teach yourself. It's not hard.

Compass, map and common sense. I'm sure there's plenty websites on how to do it.

As above: compass, OS Map, head torch.. walk. Or buy a GPS.

Just practice OP, the theory is pretty straightforward, you could probably glean most of it on wiki but it's the mental conversions people tend to screw up on and get lost with

I can night nav, I'm after resources for a bit of theory input so I don't have to make them myself to teach others

If they can use a map and compass properly, they can navigate at night, no? Or am I missing something?

A torch to see the map and compass?
