I’ve never tried astro-nav nor met anyone who did it, even for a laugh. Doing so revealed their astro fix position was about 600 metres off to the southeast, and their initial Dead Reckoning estimate was only about a kilometre to the SSE. The IGN maps of the era were (and still are) very good, and identifying distinctive isolated peaks or similar formations from maps helped with orientation.ĭecades later Peter was able to pinpoint his festive position much more accurately combining high-resolution aerial Bing Maps imagery and the angles of the distinctive hills around them from photos taken on that day.
On that trip, which included a lot of driving off-piste, they used laborious astro-fixing to establish their position, when needed. Christmas Eve 1983 found them here, about 200km southwest of Aguelhok in northern Mali. In the winter of 1983-4 he and another T2 VW set off from Mauritania to cross the Sahara from west to east.
