...many reviews on Ciao). After advice from assistants and internet research, I decided on the Garmin eTrex Summit.
Of course the eTrex Summit can be used for more than just geocaching. It is intended for long distance walkers of hilly or mountainous terrain. It incorporates an electronic compass to aid navigation and an in-built barometric altimeter. It can store up to 20 routes and up to 500 waypoints.
The eTrex Summit weighs just 5.3 ounces - definitely light in weight. It is shaped rather like a mobile phone and comes with a wrist strap making it very easy to carry.
It is waterproof. Garmin claim that the unit can be safely submersed to 1 meter for 30 minutes. Now, I haven't actually put that to the test but my eTrex Summit has withstood heavy rain and snow and has emerged unscathed (unlike me).
The eTrex Summit requires 2 AA batteries...

Advantages: More control, more comfort, very fast Disadvantages: Must enter on toe edge
...by unscrewing the entire binding. However, once its been done once, it doesn't have to be done again.
The only draw back I can see is that you have to get in on your tow edge, but for beginners who sometimes find it difficult to get up on their heel edge, this is another advantage.
All in all I throughly recommend thse bindings - they may be more expensive than the regular type but they are far more comfortable and give you more control over the board. And you get to enjoy that snow more, being half way down a slope while your snowboard buddies are still at the summit tightening their ratchets....

...of these Shakespeare SUMMIT fly reels, in the 2684/000 size ready loaded with Backing, Flyline (6 WFF) + leader for just under £22.
The standard factory supplied reel comes unloaded, and is RRP'ed @ £19 (but can be picked up for around £10-£15 if you know where to look.... try either WHITBY ANGLING SUPPLIES or MULLARKEY & SONS).
According to the manufacturer's blurb(http://www.shakespeare-fishing.co.uk/Product12.asp?line=2684-2687), they're constructed from lightweight aluminium........ which has been finished to an extremely high standard.
It also comes with 2 spools, so, say.... you can have one loaded with Floating flyline, and the other loaded with a sinking flyline, for instance....... or perhaps use a 4WFF line on one, to use with your AFTM 4-5 rated rod (for Trout bashing on small rivers)... and a 6/7/8 WFF rated fly line on the other on your AFTM...

I won't delve deeply into the details of how GPS works. That would take ages and you might already know. But in case you don't - suffice to say that there's a bunch of satellites orbiting the earth. Each one sends out a time signal along with it's unique more
A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian doesn't sound like a book that's worth reading, does it? But it's deceptive. It's not written in Ukrainian, it's not a translation from a book written in Ukrainian and it's not really about tractors. The title... more
