### Spacing is steepness, and the only hard part is valleys against spurs

Contour lines are simple except for one thing: telling whether a set of Vs is a stream valley or a ridge. That distinction is the whole skill.

#### Spacing

Close together is steep, far apart is gentle. That single rule handles most map reading and is learnable in a minute.

#### Valleys and spurs

Vs point uphill in a valley and downhill on a spur. Check the numbers on two nearby contours if you cannot tell.

#### Practising

Look at a hill you know well on a map. Recognition transfers to unfamiliar ground much faster from a place you can picture.
