Part of the problem, of course, is that the equipment is essential to have some kind of rigorous test of the method.  We did some more tests with the tablet - pretty good reception around the part of Eastside around near FoE where we did a test walk.  Except, of course, for the dratted viaducts.  The new GPS seems a lot better at picking up the signal and recalculating though, which means the tracks don't wander as much after you emerge from the other side.

We also did some tests on the radio mics.  Hmm.  I pinned it to my flappy raincoat and all you can hear on the recording is FLAP FLAP FLAP with my voice indistinctly registering underneath.  Hey ho, this is why you do tests I suppose.  We'll definitely need to use the second mic to record Jane's prompts which means we'll definitely need the dual channel recorder which, you guessed it, hasn't turned up yet.

With Jane away for a couple of days I've been doing teaching-related things.  Joy to the world, good will to freshers' etc.
