Using a compass and reading maps
Mr Measure finds a map he made as a boy. The map gives directions, using compass points and distances in metres, to the hidden time capsule he buried in the woods 30 years ago.
Mr Measure and his son go to the woods and follow the instructions on the map using a compass and tape measure. The viewer is then asked to draw the map of their route using a 1cm to 1m scale, to plot a quicker route and finally to reverse the directions.
