Eurohike Digital Map Measurer

Advantages: Easy To Use, Lightweight
Disadvantages: Not Waterproof

...Most weekends I can usually be found trudging across some remote part of the Countryside. I have done this week in, week out for many years but it only recently struck me how many miles I must cover on an average walk. It is of course reasonably easily to estimate the distance covered with the aid of a good map but these days there are a whole range of little gadgets available, which measure the distance that you walked. These gadgets are colloquially referred to as Pedometers. I have recently purchased a Eurohike Walking Pedometer which have I used for the past couple of months. I purchased this from a local Outdoors Shop for £9.99. Prior to my purchase I had virtually no knowledge of Pedometers, other than being aware that they existed. There were actually two different choices available in the Shop that I went to. My decision... Read review

Advantages: Calculates calories burned off and miles walked, radio.
Disadvantages: Sometimes seems pointless to use.

...Whilst I have heard about pedometers, I have often wondered the point in them really, until I was given one for Christmas. I have not really had a burning desire to count the number of steps that I have walked prior to then, but if given a freebie, well you have to measure them out of curiosity don`t you?

It is only a few inches, about 4 by 4 and light. It has a clip on it that the instructions advise you to clip on to your belt. I find a waistband works quite well.

Advantages: Small, Compact, Lightweight, Affordable.
Disadvantages: Get's a bit hot when cooking.

...I go camping a lot! It would be fair to say that I enjoy it, very much! So it won't suprise you to learn that I love checking out camping shops for little gadgets or something new to experiment with. When it comes to going away, you want to reduce the bulk of whatever you're taking. Even more so when camping, because if you're camping properly you want to go back to basics as much as you can! This cookset made by Eurohike is brilliant! It's desgin means that you can easily nest each pot and pan inside one another to create a small bundle. Very space saving, very practical. A travel/carry bag is provided with the set. Made of Aluminium, this cookset is very light. An obvious downside to being made of metal however, is the heat conducting qualities. So when cooking with the set you need to be constantly aware of how hot it may... Read review
