Advantages: Robust and reliable Disadvantages: not cheap
When camping and I have been feeling more adventurous, I would decide to avoid the usual commercial camp sites and head off into the wilderness, armed with a compass and a map or two. Well not the wilderness more off of the beaten track. It can be fun, but you really do need to have the best of equipment with you. With that in mind the maps I use are ordinance survey maps and the compass I prefer are the ones made by Silva.
Why choose a Silvacompass?
The company that manufactures these compasses arguably Europe?s most reliable compasses, have been making them for 70 years, they are sold to armed forces around the world

Advantages: Is personal, and the girl's voice is good! Disadvantages: Not really, although one or two songs may be growers
I have heard all the comparisons. Delta Goodrem, Christina Aguilera, Leanne Rimes, and they may even go on. But despite this, Lucie Silvas seems to shine with her own sound and her own style.

Acting/Characters
*************
Dakota Blue Richards - Lyra
As you watch Dakota on screen, you forget she was only 12 years old at the time of filming, and you certainly see no signs of this being her very first acting job. She commands the viewer's attention with her performance and she challenges us to feel her struggles and triumphs as she experiences them. It is a testament to her talent that, when sharing camera time with the likes of Sam Elliot or in fact Nicole Kidman, she steals the focus. I look forward to seeing more from this bright star
