My New GPS Arrives

I ordered a Garmin eTrex H Personal GPS Navigator from eBay the other day and it arrived today, so you've gotta try it out ain'tcha!


A quick look on the geocache site for a local cache came up with two of the Bromsgrove Feeder series, Bromsgrove Feeder (Clockwise) and Bromsgrove Feeder (Gallows Brook). These are the logs;


Time: 02.00hrs
Weather: Dry and cool.



My second go at a Geocache and it only took me about 10 minutes to find, after having my hat tugged off my head several times by the branches of the trees! 


Parked car in Field Lane and walked round. Excellent hide.
Received my new Etrex H GPS today so had to try it out. It was out by about 35ft.

On to the next - Gallows Brook


Time: 02.15hrs
Weather: Dry and cool.



My third go at a Geocache and it only took me about 15 minutes to walk from Bromsgrove Feeder (Clockwise) and to find it. Excellent hide.


Etrex H GPS was out by about 35ft again. Have adjusted to grid North and will try out on next cache probably tomorrow night.
