yes, i think sat phones may be the way. call charges need watching but they are for short comms only.
i have added quite a lot of content to the website but i need to get some other things done.
1. A downloadable OS map of the route.
2. Pictures of the route.
3. finalise the online entry page.
Let me know what you think.

I do think they should be tested in the vicinity before settling on them.
One of the foibles of VHF radios is the difficulty of hearing in wind to the point that RYA (yacht racing) give warnings about them.

It is interesting that texting is a lot cheaper and can be managed over a connected smart phone to one of the sat tracker devices, and text does not suffer the " hearing" problem - it also leaves a record - which clearly begs the question as to whether text rather than voice based comms is the answer for the type of short message needed.
