This scene was shot in América, not in Almería. There is a arch similar in Fort Bravo, but not for that movie.

Pairing the Yellowbrick Tracker to its Smartphone AppInspiring the Adventure — Mon, 11 Mar 2013 11:51:33 +0000

[...] We have been using the Yellowbrick Tracking system in the mountains of the Sierra Nevada and Patagonia successfully for over 18 months. It provides a safe and secure alternative communication system over the variable mobile phone network. All our overnight trips into the mountains take the tracker, so that we always have communications with the group. Although we have never had an emergency situation, we regard it as vital in the case of unforeseen circumstances. Read our previous review from our 2011 Patagonian Icecap Expedition. [...]

Comment on My Favourite Walk in Las Alpujarras by Richard Hartley

I have a reply from the writer of this article Ian Tupman ……
Hi Victor. I’m an old fashioned ‘map and compass’ man so I’m afraid I don’t have the GPS info for this walk. However, it is available in this publication if it is still in print: ‘Alpujarras Tour and Trail Map’ by David and Ros Brown. ISBN 1-899554-84-X. You could also have a look at ‘Holiday Walks in The Alpujarras’ by Jeremy Rabjohns (ISBN 1-85058-786-8) which has route descriptions for this and many other interesting walks in the Alpujarras. Hope this helps.

Comment on Review of the Deuter Aircontact Pro expedition rucksack in use by Dan Bortz

The pro is an expedition pack. Complete overkill for most backpacking and travel applications.

The main difference: the pro uses a webbing strap and buckle to adjust the torso length of the suspension. The AirContact, ACT Lite, and ACT Zero use a system of loops and velcro (which works just fine). As you go down the line, each model has less and less pockets/excess features. Less bells and whistles means a lighter more efficient pack. Pro has the most, Zero has the least. I have an ACT Lite, but would actually prefer an ACT Zero.
