I have recently splashed out on this Garmen GPS, its the Venture model from their "eTrex" series, so yet another bit of technology to get my head around! But I am thinking it will add and additional level of interest to my walking, cycling and general wandering round the countryside. I am from the old school of map and compass men, and of course "mental dead reckoning" which is a posh way of saying guessing, but in all my years in the hills these old skills have stood me in good stead. I aways claim never to have been lost but will admit that occasionally I might not know exactly where I am! So maybe GPS will take all the fun out of it. I am going over to the Lakes tomorrow and have loaded four routes centered on the east side of Haweswater, so I'll give it a try and see if I can get it to work for me.
