Saw a Vivitar VivCam F529 in a charity shop, sans battery and SD card, for 99p. I thought it was worth a play if only to rip apart.

£1-49 for a battery & a SD card from stock & I have a usable camera. It'll be fine for shoving in a pocket when out riding.

Just tried it out on macro:

I have visions of you in the car going around in circles just beside the house till you could no longer take it and then shouting stop!

I'm taking plastic maps as well. They don't dissolve in the rain. Paper maps are so last century.

It was a touch more practical than that. We went to the roundabout nearest to the hospital and back... so I know we can get there. Luckily the appointment is the middle of the afternoon so the roads will be quiet even if we have to deal with the road works on the bridge...
