Back after 4 years!
« on: 19:09:07, 30/09/17 »
I used to be an active poster on here up until 2013, however depression and the happy pills took over my life, and rest is history.


Anyways......... I am now making a concerted effort to get back into walking and get myself back out there.
Out tomorrow to get some new boots, Meindl Vacuum GTX, I had them before and can't fault them.


I also need a waterproof jacket, so would like some recommendations if possible. I don't mind spending good money for decent gear.


Also, I do love my gadgets, so what GPS do you recommend?


Hope to see you's on the hills soon  ;)

Yes welcome back,  For GPS I use an Etrex 20 and love it, but if you prefer a touchscreen there are now also touchscreen models https://www.amazon.co.uk/Garmin-eTrex-Touch-Recreational-Handheld/dp/B010UQ7BA0 which I'd probably now get if I had to replace my 20  O0

As I am well over 6 feet tall so I bought the Berghaus Long Cornice Jacket see:-

http://www.berghaus.com/mens-long-cornice-jacket/421015.html?dwvar_421015_color=Z92&dwvar_421015_size=S#

The price is showing at £250 but I know that I didn't spend anything like that.  Looking on Google you can get it at a much better price.  I like the fact that it is so long that it stops rain getting in over my trousers and the most important fact that it is "waterproof"!
