GPS
Bolton - a handheld GPS can be a great accessory to have on the hills especially if you are hiking alone. However, you need to have good basic navigation skills to get real use out of them. If you can't read a map a GPS is likely to be a waste of money.
I use a Garmin etrek20 and am happy with it. I have the Emerald Island basemap loaded onto the GPS - it is available for free on the Resources section of this site. This is a great addition.
The Walkers Association of Ireland run GPS courses. I haven't been on them so can't comment on how good they are. |

The famous side of Slieve Beg is the NE, gashed by the Devils Coachroad. However the SE side also has its drama.Taken on a frosty slippy day from Cove. |

Not normally done in isolation, this top usually forms part of a walk involving Dromderalough itself or Mangerton. One approach is from the north, which has the advantage of a gently rising track ... |
