[pct-l] Pedometers

[Diane Soini of Santa Barbara Hikes]

I started my hike with a digital pedometer. It did not work very  
well. The settings were too coarse so I could not get a setting that  
matched my pace. If you can still find one with a dial rather than  
digital, it might work better. What I ended up doing was learning my  
pace by my watch. The Data Book had all these points and mileages in  
it and after a while I got really good at estimating my pace. I could  
determine the time I would be at the next data point within 5 minutes  
accuracy. That meant I could estimate my miles with the same accuracy  
as well. And also since I was using the Data Book and it had multiple  
points per day, I didn't need to keep track of the whole day in one  
lump sum.
