Up them mountains!!!

[VNA]

Cheers Nick.

I think my problem is muscular, at least I hope it is, hopefully just a matter of gently building strength (swimming) and doing all the stretches till things settle down.  Hate swimming but I'll do anything to get back fit again.

I went for the GPS becuase I walk by myself.  I guess I'm out for 4 reasons, the view, helps VNA stay sane, to take photos and exercise.  It's the photos that screw up navigation, always stopping to take snaps.  Also I don't want to care about time when I'm in the hills.  Accurate navigation is all about time, distance direction.  So I don't fit the rules, and frankly I don't care for 'the rules'.

Yes I need and use the map.  Aye if the cloud is down I take my direction from the compass.  But the GPS serves one essential function that a map cannot when the cloud is down or there is a white out.  It tells me exactly where I am.

I've been lost before and didn't like it one bit. 

You can also have your planned route superimposed on the map, so you can see where you are in relation to where you intended to be :lol

This is the GPS I use.  Mine is the older lower res Active 10 version.
