^ what, you mean this *isn't* a wild day? :rolleyes:

^Haven't done any geo-caching, but I have used a GPS, together with OS maps in Britain. The GPS actually proved to be overkill. In the end, my little key-chain magnetic compass proved more useful for navigating.

< I love maps, me!

V What's the most obscure little place on earth to which you've deliberately navigated, and why?
