So I treated myself to a Garmin etrex 32x, well the good lady did actually, I think she knew it would baffle me and keep me quiet!! I watched a few people review it straight from the box on YouTube before I ordered it and theres no way your telling me they haven’t spent hours learning how to use it, the lying gits!! It took me two minutes to get the tape off the box🥵I’m not a tech dinosaur, I’ve got an iPhone for gods sake, but I will review it when I can work it properly (that’s never then) one of the main reasons I choose it is because it runs on two AA batteries that last for up to 3 days, so no constant charging, handy when your in the middle of nowhere, as long as you have some spare batteries!! Used it for the first time today for a ride down the Brampton valley way, about 30 miles. It worked fine I think, didn’t help that I forgot my glasses! It’s a good job I’ve got 3 months to fanny about with it!!
Not going to go on about the corona virus that’s consuming every minute of everyone’s day at the minute, just to say that one of the great things I love about cycling, especially off-road cycling is that you can get away from everyday life, stress and worry free, even just for a couple of hours and it feels great.
