Last year my cousin suggested we get some walkie talkies after seeing the mobile phone bills when we got home from the previous two years. after some humming and arrhhinng we bought four 8 channel radios.

They saved us a fortune in phone calls/text messages, and I would recommend them for families that are going to be doing different things.
Here's a link to the ones we use, but you can get them anywhere.
Walkie talkies
They can also have the collar mounted microphone, which saves having to get your gloves off/stop and undress to speak to someone.

Totally agree with that Banknote. We have been using them for about 4 years now and they are brilliant.

We also used them at night. We gave our daughter one when we were in the bar. If she needed anything, it saved her having to come and ask us. That alone was worth the money.

Thanks Banknote for letting out the best kept secret Very Happy
Could be great fun if everyone had them and all tuned to the same channel,
this is footfixer 10 - 10 we're gone good buddy.

PS they would be quite useful for letting everyone know where the mobile speed carmeras are on the slopes Very Happy Wink
