This Christmas I got a Garmin etrex GPS receiver from Claire, which I'm sure is no reflection of my map reading skills on those walks in the Lake District!!I was up and running recording tracks within minutes, which could be uploaded to some mapping software like Cadcorp or Google Earth but what I really struggled with was creating Waypoints and constructing a route! So with its first real test looming this Saturday at the Thames Path Ultra, I've finally got it nailed and its very cool!
For those that are interested click here to see the Waypoints for the route Ben and I will be taking on the Thames Path Ultra this Saturday on a map! Where you can also link off to Google Earth to fly the route.

Interesting to see your blog up and running again, Nick. Hope you enjoy the weekend and look out for my old school grounds as you approach Sonning. You will see the boat house on your right where from where I used to row - I think says 'RBCS Boat Club' above the doors.
Good luck, Dad
Thanks for the comment Dad. I'll be sure to look out for the boat house tomorrow. I'll try and get a picture of it with my new whizzy phone and upload it straight to my blog from Sonning.
