Amazon's Big Spring Sale is nearly over, and I've managed to get away with spending less than £30 and still picking up an awesome piece of kit. Right now, you can grab the iconic Silva Expedition 4 Compass for just £25.99 at Amazon. That's a significant 32% drop in price for this navigation tool, which is widely regarded as the best in the business, but hurry, because the Big Spring Sale ends tonight.
My old compass stopped working a while ago, and I knew it was important for me to get a new one, espcially as I've been exploring some Munros that are a little further afield lately. I already knew I wanted the Silva Expedition 4 because it's so highly-regarded – when Advnture writer Matt Jones reviewed it, he gave it nearly perfect marks.
"The original and still one of the best, the iconic Type 4 is an expedition-worthy base plate compass that allows for precise navigation with many different maps."
So when I saw it was discounted by over a third, naturally, I jumped. The magnifying lens and declination scale inside the capsule offer detailed map reading and navigation, and I trust it to keep me safe on my wilderness adventures, all for less than a tank of petrol.

Another reason I was keen to get my hands on this model is because the Expedition 4 compass is suitable for night navigation thanks to its luminous markings, which will help during my night runs. It offers six hours of illumination after activation in light, making it a reliable choice for night time adventures.
