Hi Joe,

I'm working Wednesday/Thursday I'm afraid.

Sometime we'll be off on the same day and get out together.

Hope you have a good day. Don't go too far over the plateau if it's misty

All the best,

John

Hi John

I have learned the hard way last wednesday as i climed the Cairngorms and started the walk towards Benmacdui and the mist just camdown and the visibility was very bad i had to comeback and that was a scary experience.
i knew how to head back .

I have just bought Garmin eTrex Summit HC Handheld GPS Unit wich i will get in few days, any advice about the GPS ?
Am off on sunday the 28th june ( day before my holidays to morroco) and if u planning any outing ill will be happy to join u


good walking and thanks again for ure reply

Hi Jalal,

I'm afraid I'm away at a family get together on that Sunday
(i'd rather be on the hills!)

I can't give much help on using a GPS I'm afraid. I suppose that I really ought to get one to play with but I
still trust to my map and compass.
My advice would be to learn map and compass skills thoroughly as well as learning to use the GPS.

All the best,

John

Heading a bit off topic - sorry - but I put together a few pages about how I find a GPS useful:
