do you know what they're called?

they are called pedometers!

Tom, I think a pedometer is a device which you set with the length of your stride and it counts the swing of each step and therefore works out distance traveled. The clicky thing is just a device to ........ well count stuff (bouncers on nightclub doors wouldn't call them pedometers). Many people use beads on a length of paracord and count in 10s.

oh right... well then get a pedometer like mine because mine does what bill said.. but also you can set it just to count your steps, and it goes click to (thats where i got confused)

Some people call them pacers, in the end they are a device that aids the user to remember where they have counted upto.

They are not bad, but as Tenbears10 said you can get away with using beads on cord (a method that is used a lot in the forces because it is quiet).

Pedometers are probably better in a lot of ways since a lot of them actually calculate the distance travelled. However distance travelled can only be calculated if you are using a mean average of pace to distance over varying types of terrain unless you live somewhere totally flat.

 

[ESpy]

The clicky thing I know as a hand tally. A pedometer counts paces for you based on the jolts it receives, invariably working with an average stride length. I've also used the beads approach - whilst the pedometer is nice, it is something else to go wrong...

Stationery suppliers matey, I ordered some a while ago so a couple of staff could count audience members going in.

If its a simple pedometer you want, PM me your address and i will mail you one. They were giving them away in the local O2 shop when i got my new phone, the guy in the shop gave me a few of them so you are more than welcome.

Its really basic with a blue re-set button and 5 digit counter. Does nothing special except count the number of steps you take

 

[Squidders]

Thanks masongary but the pedomiter, although useful, don't seem to register each step I take... and when i'm travelling up hills I can compensate for the gradient by clicking 2 of three steps to give a good picture. Very generous offer though :You_Rock_

And the rest of you motley lot... I guess I wasn't looking hard enough, the varied number of places you have found them leads me to believe I should be falling over them in the high street... I bet you're all demon treasure hunters!

Thanks guys 'n' gals. :biggthump
