I suspect you could do it yourself. Probably involves stroking it with a magnet. (I wouldn't let most Cotswold employees use a magnet unsupervised ;-))

I sort of tried and failed already. Maybe it's time for another try.

I think silva will do it for free... if it is a silva compass.

I saw somebody recommending fixing it with one of those magnets farmers feed to cows to trap sharp bits of metal.

My one was a Silva. I took it back to see if they could return it for repair, and they did it in the shop while I waited.

While I think, just posted this on the Ultra thread but it's probably worth posting here too...

Interesting read for anyone with a rechargeable head torch, especially if it's one of the cheap CREE ones bought online from China..

Bloody hell, that could have been worse couldn't it? An abject lesson in not buying cheap shite there methinks!

We spent 5 mins looking for the lens out of a friend’s head torch a couple of years ago on its first outing but I’ve not seen one spontaneously combust 🔥

This spot should be quite familiar to many fellrunners ;)

Crikey. I hope the drifts have been cleared ready for nets practice tomorrow :-)

Our Tuss has a wander on the outfield and seemed to suggest the pitch might offer a bit of bounce ;)
