Beg or borrow Southern Hemisphere Compasses

[baronmax]

With my approaching mid-century anniversary I'm heading South for the Big 5-0 in South Africa with the rest of the Baronmax family and other INTs. Would any one have any Southern Hemisphere compasses they'd be willing to let us beg or borrow? Seems a bit extravagant to buy 5 compasses just for a week's orienteering....

Any offers gratefully received - baronmaxi AT googlemail.com.

You haven't been orienteering until you've been chased by a warthog...

Good luck with your plea Barronmax. Perhaps a letter to Santa?

I've got ours sorted already, thanks to Ravinous

Looking forward to some serious competition in M50.

Hi baronmax - I cannot seem to send to your email address. I have a compass you can borrow, email me at dave.kingdon@gmail.com

Note the there are magnetic declination differences in the Southern Hemisphere so there are different compasses for S America, Southern Africa and Austral-Asia. It's not a significant difference although when using our S African compasses at the NZ WMOC we did notice the needle was not flat and it was a little slow in rotating.

I think Lorna Eades has mine Baron - youre welcome to borrow if you can prise them away, presuming they arent also heading there (they might be).
I managed to get a couple of serviceable southern hemishpere baseplates at Cotswold for £20 each
