Hi Jamie, Had an excellent trip, left Bristol at 4pm on Thurs reached Lock Lomand about 10pm (418M), we camped a mile or so away from the lock just to get away from the midges, horrible things, one ended up inside my pin lock!! Friday we cracked on to Thurso, Dunnet Head (Most Northely point) & John O Groats then back down to Inverness for the night (410M). We took our time the rest of the trip coming back via Edinburgh, down through the lake district then over to Bangor Sunday night, yesterday we came through Wales via Snowdonia, Welshpool, Newtown, Abergavenny (Stunning roads on a sunny Monday with no traffic). 1594 miles in all, though I think next time we'll do it over a week.
As for the radios, well the handsets work very well, good quality for the price, distance was fine & the battery life better than expected. In complete contrast the headsets were, putting bluntly, CRAP. Anything over 55mph & you could not hear a thing due to the wind noise, one fitted to my mates Arai the other to my Schuberth S2. In reality this was not to much of a problem as we could communicate in towns & villages. Saturday however they packed up, intermittent faults with the MIC & PTT, nothing obvious, all the connections looked fine, but in the end it was to much hassle so we removed them. Rather than sending them back I've given them to a mate who is a comms guy in the forces so he can test & upgrade them, maybe change the speaker pads to buds to reduce noise.
