Product reviews selection page

In the course of our touring we purchase products we think will help to enhance our UK leisure travels and holidaying.  Some products prove more useful than others!  Here you can select our reviewed product article, find out all about it as we put it through its paces during a trip and just how useful it was.  There's links to relevant resources at the end of each review for further research.  Over time we intend to add to our product reviews and develop this as a useful resource for our site visitors and fellow tourists.

 

Click to read the Panasonic camcorder reviewDigital Camcorder  reviewed Oct 2006 (updated Aug 2007)
We purchased the Panasonic NVGS280 combined camcorder and digital stills camera and used it extensively on our Somerset holiday in 2006.  Some features were very very good, while others were very very bad!  Read our unbiased review, many points are relevant to other models in the series too.
 

Click to read the Garmin GPS Sat Nav reviewSat Nav  reviewed Sept 2005 (updated Oct 2006 and Aug 2007)
The Garmin etrex Legend is a small handheld Satellite Navigation GPS receiver which we thought would be a useful gadget to use on our walks, maybe even replacing our maps.  We first used it on our Dorset holiday in 2005 and whilst we found some excellent useful features, we also found some very serious limitations!  Our review is helpful to users of other Sat Nav units as well.

Keeping in touch with each other while touring usually involves a quick call on the mobile - or shouting!  So we purchased a pair of two way radios to communicate over short distances and found them useful in Devon in 2003 and again in 2004 on our Highland holiday.  'Alpha Brava one nine, come in please, over...  Receiving you loud and clear, go ahead with your review'...
