Section 1: Cardinal directions and simple turns

Start with the compass: work out which way you face after simple quarter and half turns.

1. You are facing north. You turn 90° clockwise. Which direction are you now facing?
2. You are facing east. You turn 180° (a half turn). Which direction are you now facing?
3. You are facing south. You turn 90° anticlockwise. Which direction are you now facing?
4. Early one morning you walk directly towards the rising sun, then turn left. Which direction are you now facing?
5. On a standard map with no compass rose shown, which direction is conventionally at the top?
6. You are facing west. You turn 270° clockwise. Which direction are you now facing?
7. In a park, the library is directly north of the fountain and the café is directly south of the fountain. Which of the three is furthest north?
8. You are facing north. You turn left twice, 90° each time. Which direction are you now facing?
9. You are travelling due south along a road when you take a branch to your right. Which compass direction does the branch head?
10. A village lies directly west of a bridge. Standing in the village, in which direction is the bridge?
