I've downloaded an app so I can flag A certain place and then I can always go back there when I want Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnasher16 30,046 Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 As regards actual distance covered will a sat nav/gps not just give the distance covered by road as opposed to the " as the crow flies " distance walking across fields etc ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lab 10,979 Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Cant say i 'walk' my dogs really in the summer months, certainly not if its warm. They get to come round the field checking the birds and get cleaned out. If its cooler at night they'll get a 10-15 walk and then another check round the field again. In the winter months they'll be working 3-4 days a week and if i'm not doing anything i like to take them away for hours.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
baw 4,360 Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Mick, if that's your usual walk as you say, how is finding out it's distance going to get rid of the beer belly if it's been there all the time you've walked it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

baw 4,360 Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Good point gnash but my satnav has a wee compass thing on it which points directly to the destination and gives you the distance as well. Just depends if it's that he is reading or as you say, the road thing or is he using his phone, can't remember now lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
