Circle navigating our flat world is not that hard, all you have to do is follow the path of the sun, go in a constant west ward direction. For every mile moved in a constant west ward direction, you will move 8 inches toward the north (a right turn). If you move on a south ward direction, eventually you will hit the ice wall known as Antarctica. Since the Antarctic treaty was signed, private exploration of the southern most part of our world has been forbidden.

Why would my position move North if my heading is exactly West?
If I go South, I expect to hit Antarctica, I agree with you there
But I don't get why if I'm flying exactly West that for every mile travelled I'm actually 8 inches closer to the North pole?
You can't stay within a circle by moving in a straight line.
