[QUOTE="Moneybox, post: 598765, member: 3960"] If you think getting you close is good enough it might not be. We parked our bus on a slight incline between two gullies. Mrs M went one way and I went the other with an agreed approximate time to return. At that time we met on the slight ridge where we parked but neither of us found the bus. It's 3m high and 6.5m long, painted purple with an off white top. We'd missed it by 50m. While standing there discussing where it should have been we spotted it on the other side of some light scrub but so close that it should have been in clear sight. It's happened since but now we're aware of how hard it is to see that we take more care in marking our position. A lot of this country is featureless with no clear gullies, hills or trees to take a bearing. [/QUOTE]
