About Chris Johnson
Expertise
I can answer most questions on equipment for outdoor activities such as walking, mountain biking, rock climbing and paragliding, in the UK. I`ve limited watersports experience so you`d be better off asking someone else these questions. Questions about the above activities themselves as well as about the equipment will also be answered as I`ve got several contacts who can pass on information. I`m a keen walker/mountainbiker/rock climber/paraglider pilot in the UK. I`ve been doing outdoor sports for about 15 years including trips to the French Alps and Trekking in the Nepalese and the Indian Himalayas. I`ve been buying and making outdoor clothing and equipment for about the same amount of time.

Experience
Waking up at the foot of Annapurna South is something I won't forget. I would say that my first paraglider flight was unforgettable but every flight since seems to have been more unforgettable.

I would advise not by a pda with the gps built in, because the Gps is very hard on battery life. Prizes, size, battery life and performance of gps mouses have improved a lot. With an MTK based blue tooth mouse you can probably use navigation all day, depending on your pda. Some programs will give you a hard time because they will use the internal gps by default, which will drain your battery in less then an hour.
