Suggestions for cheap channel crossings for walkers by
Kevin West
I have crossed the channel to walk in Europe a few times over the last year
and am paying what i think is too high a price for the crossings.
The ferry companies all charge the same price and it cost hundreds to go as
a foot passenger for anything more than 10 days.
Has anyone beat the system?

Plotting a walk into a GPS by
Daryl
Hi,
I'm planning to buy a GPS very shortly and wondered how easy it is to plot a
walk into the machine (the Garmin Geko 201 is the one I'll probably buy).
I have a few OS maps and some Pathfinder walk books. How easy is it to
enter waymarks using Grid References. I understand that PDFs use...

Very Short TR by
Paul Saunders
Had my first go on a climbing wall today, two ascents up a 60 foot wall.
First time I've ever used rope and harness. It was kinda fun. Didn't
feel as good as real rock though.

Home Dehydrating by
Jay Russell
Hi,
Does anyone out there have any experience of using a food dehydrator (like
the ezidri or similar)
Are they any good?
Can you make something like a bolognaise or a chilli and dry that?
