Nite MX20-202

£220.00

Tough, practical and great on the hill, all Nite watches self-illuminate at night thanks to gaseous tritium light source (GTLS) technology, making them easy to read in all conditions. The Nite MX20-202 is water-resistant to 200m, and features a twisting bezel, stainless steel casing, Swiss-made movement and a 10-year lithium battery. But it is a stripped-down option that tells the ...

Garmin Vista HCx

£230.00

Although small and incredibly light, the Vista HCx is the best of the old school, hand-held units and with the exception of the rather basic mapping – the best you can achieve is the optional Garmin Topographic mapping – it is everything you could possibly want from a walking/outdoor specific device. Data transfer to and from your PC is really ...

Nokia N79

£275.00

The N79 is about the same size and weight as the average phone, yet with the addition of ViewRanger software (£25 for all UK national parks 1:50,000, £60 per park 1:25,000), it becomes a GPS receiver with full OS mapping. Routes can be copied to the phone from any digital-mapping software and, although not as functional as some, it is ...

MWg Zinc II

£200.00

This is a great gadget – a fully featured smart phone combined with a hand-held PC that runs Windows. This can then be set up with Memory-Map software, via its Digital Map Shop (a map download service), so that it also acts as a mapping GPS. In the field the mapping is great and the obvious advantage is that there’s ...

Haglöfs Oz Pullover 2008

£170.00

The Haglöfs Oz Pullover is an extremely popular jacket that is ideal if low weight is your main priority.

It is a smock ...

£199.00

A joy to use. PC connectivity is simple and it will readily share data with Memory-Map with no need to use any other software for file conversions. Menus are intuitive and can be easily customised, while swapping between main functions is amazingly easy. The single button press for “Find” and “Mark”, means little time need be wasted on the hill. ...

Olympus MJU 850 SW 2008

£175.00

Hill-walking gear needs to be tough: and the Mju 850 SW from Olympus is quite a tough little number. Though it may be hard to believe looking at it, it’s actually waterproof. And we’re not talking about it just taking a few splashes either – you can safely submerge it in up to 3m of water! If you’re unfortunate enough ...

Casio Exilim EX-Z200 2008

£200.00

At less than 23mm thick, the slender Exilim EX-Z200 from Casio will slip easily into any pocket. Not only that, it weighs just 119g, so you’ll hardly know it’s there when you’re walking. Despite these lean dimensions, Casio hasn’t compromised on the camera’s features. It’s got a handy 4x optical zoom lens (covering a range of 28-112mm) so it’s great ...

Panasonic Lumix FX-500 2008

£269.00

If you find some compact cameras a bit fiddly to use – especially with cold hands or when wearing gloves – then take a look at the Lumix FX-500 from Panasonic. At the back of the camera is a large 3in LCD with a touch-screen interface. So, rather than having to negotiate a load of tiny buttons that are too ...

Nite MX40

£200.00

While the digital superhighway may be running the world, there is still a place for an analogue watch face rather than a digital display, and this mountain watch is an excellent example. You get hour, minutes and seconds hands and these are treated with GTLS (gaseous tritium light source), which is said to be 100 times brighter than normal luminous ...

Nite GX40

£240.00

This mountain watch has hands rather than digital display; stainless steel casing; GTLS (gaseous tritium light source ) makes hands 100 times brighter than luminous paint; battery life is not reduced by having to use a light; water-resistant to 200m; extra-thick scratch-resistant sapphire crystal glass; stopwatch; stylish.

£170.00

This multi-activity jacket is incredibly lightweight and absolutely the only one worth having if you want to travel as light as possible.

It is a smock design with minimal features ...

Magellan eXplorist 210

£179.00

This neat little GPS unit from Magellan has a decent-sized black and white screen and a brightness switch. The buttons are very small and data transfer can be fiddly, but actual navigation through the pages is easy and the menus are reasonably intuitive. It will connect to a PC, via a USB cable, but not as easily as some. The ...

Mio Digiwalker P350

£200.00

This PDA (pocket PC) from Mio runs typical PC software, but also has a built-in GPS antenna. Teamed with digital mapping software, such as Memory-Map, the P350 can be used as a walking GPS unit that shows full detail Ordnance Survey mapping. There’s no doubting the appeal of a GPS receiver that shows your exact position on 1:25,000 OS mapping ...

Garmin Etrex Summit

£150.00

This GPS unit from Garmin is very simple to understand, with a logical sequence of pages, each doing a very specific and obvious job. It’s also extremely easy to link to the PC, although it’s not quite as effortless as the USB connection of the Vista CX in the higher price band. Note that the data cable isn’t supplied, so ...
