[QUOTE="Levytag, post: 27978, member: 962"] Chimpy. I also went up to Tibooburra recently. The topography is amazing and it sure puts you in your place. A couple of times I had worked up and down gullies and when it was an hour before dark I realised that I wasn't quite sure where my camp was. I walked and walked and got increasingly alarmed as it was getting close to dark and the temps were 2degs overnight. I did have enough nouse to note how to walk towards camerons corner road and from there I made it back as the light was almost gone. I spooked myself .... Which brings me to a question of you (as you seem to be a knowlegable gps user). What gps should I buy to keep myself a bit safer? I have looked on the net about garmin etrex... what device do you use? do you have any opinions which is the best for Tib-like places inc WA next winter. Thanks for your posts - I've taken a few tips from them... [/QUOTE]
