rimfire4969 Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 I have started to do some semi serious walking overnight stuff 2 or 3 days at a time, wild camping or it I find a B & B or campsite at the end of the day staying there. I have done several bits of the South West coast path not a problem as all I got to do is keep the sea on my right. But I will be doing the Ridgeway, Pennine Way and some others where the paths are not marked that well. I can't be faffed with maps so I want a handheld GPS, it obviously needs maps, distance travelled and to next stopping point, speed and timings etc. but as normal it seems to be a minefield of what to buy, any help would be great. Also any light weight kit you longer need for such adventures that I might be persuaded to buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
