Not the Morgan Chronometer
Christopher Ward Morgan Chronometer a snip at £2.2kIt’s November, the Morgan is tucked up in the garage and I have been walking the South West Coast Path in brilliant sunshine. How’s that for poor planning? The SWCP is a challenging 630mile coastal walk with ascents and descents equivalent to four Everest’s.
Just keeping the sea on the right makes it impossible to get lost. Well that’s the theory but I’ve managed it on a number of occasions and adding an unnecessary mile or two to the sixteen already walked is irritating.
So I’ve bought a gadget that gives me a jolt when I stray more than a few yards from the path. It’s a bit like electrocuting a monkey and it works a treat. This particular monkey has been woken from a daydream many times while following a goat track up a hill or trying to outpace inquisitive heifers without breaking into an undignified run.
Because the gadget includes turn by turn navigation, tactile, rather than audio notifications and a screen that works in direct sunlight I’m thinking it may work well in an M3W. Other advantages, it doesnt require a mount and therefore won’t suffer from vibration that can render some motorcycle units useless but there are a few downsides. Routes have to be prepared on a computer in advance and cost makes it hard to recommend over a dedicated motorcycle unit.
That being said, adding maps to the ludicrously priced (£2.2k) Christopher Ward Morgan Chronometer costs an extra £10. Adding a Morgan logo to the mapping gadget £0.
