DYKEY’S REVIEW

Well the summer is here and you all should be getting ready for your summer expeditions etc, but before you head off try out some of these sites for advice and a bit of a laugh.

Summer expedition or lucky enough to heading to the Czech Rep. well this site is a must. Basically it's the online version of all those expensive guidebooks you see in camping stores. Unless you have a laptop you won't be able to access it while on the road but it's good for those sensible people who like to prepare before they go!!! (where's the fun in that?)

Now if you haven't hit this site yet or even heard of it I don't know you've been. It's got all the best links to Irish Scouting and a brilliant discussion board for Ventures where you can register all your ideas and suggestions. (Chat room also available but damned if I've ever found anyone in it!)

Fun site that claims the Bert from Sesame Street is in fact the devil. Some funny photo's but also a lot of rubbish and it does get boring after a while.

If you play guitar and you are always stuck because you haven't a clue what chord is what? Well this site is perfect. It shows you what each chord looks like and has plenty of great links to tab sites as well. Worth a look.

Great site to look at or even buy all those pointless little things that we all buy when we happen to have too much money! (it does happen!) They have everything from Leatherman Tools to personal breathalysers!!

Again I would love to get some suggestions or even if your Venturer group have a page and want some advertising please tell at dykey@eircom.net, (or if you’d like a link from www.irish-venturers.org simply fill in this form on the website.)
