Azimuth: United Kingdom - Find the Hidden City by Compass Bearing
The Compass City Game
A hidden city sits in the middle of the compass. Every arrow points from it to a real city, at its true bearing.
Read the angles, name the city. Seven tries, and every wrong guess becomes another arrow.
About Azimuth: United Kingdom
Britain is tall and narrow, so north-south arrows tell you far more than east-west ones. The pack runs from Cornwall to the Scottish Highlands and across the Irish Sea to Belfast, and the Master band hides small places like Clovelly and Dunster.
