Chris, Welcome :-)
No experience with a logger of that type personally but as long as you get a logged point every 1 second then it's as good as anything else we use. Having said that there isn't quite so much need for GPS logging anymore due to the availability of BING aerial imagery for tracing things like urban footpaths. Out in the countryside though they may not be so obvious from above, in which case a logger is always valuable. There are a few people who are based in the east midlands including both the Leicester and Nottingham areas. You might try a post also to the talk-gb list and see if anyone comes back to you. You can also look for those who have edited data in your region and contact them via their OSM user page. And of course you would be very welcome to come along to our monthly West Mids meet in Birmingham.
