How to use a Garmin GPSMAP 65s - Walk and Talk

In this latest ‘walk and talk’ I take the Garmin GPSMAP 65s on a 15 mile walk up the Schil, in the Cheviot Hills.

After starting off we pass up St Cuthbert’s Way to the Border Fence, once passing through this we follow the Pennine way to The Schil, which is just over 2,000 ft above sea level.

From here we drop back to the Valley floor and follow he footpath and then road back to Hethpool, the start and finish of the walk.

During the walk we look at how to use the Garmin GPSMAP 65s and the key benefits and the pros and cons of the Garmin GPSMAP 65s.
