If you have smart phones (Android or Apple), take a look a look at ViewRanger combined with SocialHiking.

Using ViewRanger and enabling BuddyBeacons within the app, then linking via Twitter to SocialHiking you can get a near realtime view of the location. For an example check the SocialHiking webpage for maps marked Live.

NB - this does rely on some form of data signal, although it doesn't have to be full 3G. This could be an issue in some remote locations.

One thing to note is that it's a good idea to keep an eye on battery consumption and either have spare batteries (Android) or a means of recharging the battery in an Apple.

Perhaps it's to stop people abusing it

I found my local B&M Store to be pretty cheap, about £1.80 for around 750ml (if I remember correctly).

Here's a store finder for you - http://www.bmstores.co.uk/stores

Also, maybe worth trying your local hardware store (if you still have one).

Pete,

May be worth posting a question on the owners thread, to get the real world depth of the porc.

I know in my Scarp1 it's big enough to cook in (with the door open of course).

I knows you know

Figured I'd reply on here as well, just in case anyone else wanted to see the answer.
