VDF doesn't give any info on distance so any answers that suggest distance, ignore.

VDF is purely direction, either from or to.

If your bearings are increasing or decreasing then you are drifting north or south.

When your question says your bearings are decreasing it means it is getting closer (anticlockwise) to due North (i.e 000 degrees or 360 degrees) it doesn't mean reducing in distance.

And remember QDM is Magnetic and QTE is True.
