    Grizedale forest GPS trouble

    Has anyone had trouble with their GPS forerunner or other Garmin whilst in Grizedale forest. I ran under the low pilons with no problem then as I left the forest the forerunner went bezerk and my milage went from 7 miles to 14.3 miles, but the best bit was my altitude gained was from 300m to 8346m all in 1h05min . not bad eh?

    Any ideas?
    the only electrical device I had on me was a ipod shuffle thingy.

    The only other thing I can think of is the battery was not fully charged ???????

    You can rule out any static then.

    It can also happen if your memory is too full (the watch not you personally). If you don't download / delete the training history reasonably often, it can make the thing go nuts, sometimes going back wards in the middle of a run.

    That could be it. I havent deleted anything since starting using it. the history on the run went mental after 6miles. When I down loaded it I was quite amazed at where it said I was running.
    Cheers, I will try and delete it and see if that helps.
