Tristan is an author and natural navigator. Tristan set up his natural navigation school in 2008 and is the author of award-winning and internationally bestselling books, including The Walker's Guide to Outdoor Clues & Signs (UK 2014), The Secret World of Weather (2021) and How to Read a Tree (2023), some of the world's only books covering natural navigation. His books have been translated into 20 languages. He has spent decades hunting for clues and signs in nature, across the globe, and has been nicknamed 'The Sherlock Holmes of Nature'. He is the only living person to have both flown solo and sailed singlehanded across the Atlantic.
The perfect book
*Sir Ranulph Fiennes*
Wonderfully stimulating
*Michael Palin*
Gooley is a fine writer with a philosophical passion for the
subject ... his advice is at times glorious in its simplicity and
fascinating in its execution ... his advice is so well structured
that even enthusiastic amateurs will find plenty to get to grips
with
*Irish Times*
Wonderful... This is the sort of charming and inspiring book you
want to recommend and buy for others. A must for any lover of the
outdoors
*Daily Telegraph*
This in-depth book gives us the tools to re-engage with our natural
world in a clear and understandable way. I love it!
*Bear Grylls*
The best nature writing changes the way you experience the world.
Tristan Gooley's The Natural Navigator will teach you how to find
your way using not just the moon, sun and stars but spider's webs,
tennis courts and even ruts on a track. He throws in entertaining
anecdotes from the history of navigation and from his own
impressive Atlantic journeys, but really he's giving you an
addictive hobby, and a newly refined sense of time and place
*The Sunday Times*
You enjoy the walk more if you're trying to spot the little clues
rather than look at the map
*Evan Davies*
A definitive volume on the subject
*Yachting Monthly*
In a sat-nav dominated world, where GPS and a host of other
acronyms designed to get us from A to B have overtaken paper maps,
it is refreshing to meet someone who understands technology, but
prefers to find his way by practicing the rare and ancient art of
using nature’s signposts, from puddle patterns to shadow lengths .
. . I’m hooked. Back at the beech, I make a mental note of emerging
bluebell patches, forming an internal map that I’ll use to find my
way around the wood
*BBC Wildlife Magazine*
As Gooley reminds us, navigation is, first of all, about
understanding where you are. His marvellous book is a good starting
point
*Geographical Magazine*
