Magnetic declination in the UK is, at the moment, minimal so unless your compass can show half a degree accurately it’s not really worth calculating unless you’re in a military operation. Of course that changes over time and it’s good to briefly mention this.

Sighting objects along the line you've walked on a bearing can act as good markers if taking a back bearing too.
Thanks
What is the orange watch that you have on in this vid?
“Otherwise you’ll just end up walking north all the time” Haha brilliant
What about magnetic variation?
