Long time since I have done it but I at least know what you are talking about.
I have recently been very depressed by the lack of understanding some arcahologists have of maps and how to use them. All the fancy gizmos in the world will not help on a moor when the mist comes down and your batteries run out.
Still there are lots of keen walkers out here who have the knowledge, it is a shame that some of the basics do not appear to be part of university courses in archaeology (I may be wrong there, please tell me I am)
