Went to buy an eTrex 20........however

Postby weeds » Thu 03 Sep, 2015 8:22 pm

Put the pack on and walk 5km to a shopping centre, was keen to pick up an eTrex 20.

Was planning to buy at BCF, however I spotted a Rays Outdoors.

Popped in and they didn't have any 20's in stock.......they had 30's reduce including free topo maps.........

A quick search on the iPhone indicated it was a pretty good price......deal done.

5km walk back to my accommodation, brought some batteries at a servo on the way, will steal the memory card out of my work camera......about to have a play.
