I have 2 friends and fellow caravanners who know it's one of my hobbies to go for a walk and solve puzzles en-route. They sit in their caravan on a nice day doing word puzzles, and they think I'm odd.

Thanks for all the advice. I use the old yellow Etrex, so I think I'll just upgrade to the H version then I'll still have the serial connection to my Ipaq. I need this when I go on holiday as I take waypoints and tracks for walks and cacheing, far more than the gps itself will hold.

I'm tempted to buy one of the Garmins on offer at Tesco, will the Garmin usb talk to my Ipaq usb as they are both regarded as devices by a PC.

Currently puzzling me - the geocaching.com site allows you to do a variety of searches but none of them are by British National Grid refs eg NY257148. How do I achieve this ?
Is there a webpage somewhere that converts between BNG and lat/lon ? I'm aware that my gps can do it but that's easiest for converting between formats at locations where u are - not very useful for finding what geocaches are around a BNG grid ref.
All advice welcome.
Cheers,
Rifty.
If you use GSAK there is a macro ( AddOSGridRef.gsk) which will do your whole database.

Is the site down again? I just get the header and error messages.
Strange it's back now at 06:05

Walking Demon publish some nice books of walks for UK and Europe, all the walks are fully waypointed and they also have a cd from which you can download the waypoints and trackpoints for all their walks. www.walking.demon.co.uk/index.htm

Nice article, pity it refers to the geocacheuk website which appears to be down again . Sorry Teasel, I know it's not your fault.
