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. 
 Digital Camera reviewed Oct 2008 (updated
Sept 2009)
Realising that our old cameras were getting a little long in the tooth
and raggedy around the edges we updated them with the Ricoh Caplio R7
digital compact camera. Our first major trip with it was our holiday in Gower, so have
advancements in digital camera technology produced worthwhile new
features or are they just pants?
 Digital Camcorder reviewed Oct 2006 (updated
Aug 2007, Sept 2008 & Sept 2009)
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.
 Sat Nav reviewed Sept 2005 (updated
Oct 2006, Aug 2007, Sept 2008 & Sept 2009)
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 also helpful to users of other
Sat Nav units.
 Talkie Walkie reviewed Oct 2004
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.
