For German People the offer is still open to contact me for finding a solution 
on a borrow a GPS for recording Tracks.
I think we should try to get a pool of OSM-capable GPS-Devices for every 
country. Then we could handle some kind of GPS-borrowing for those who just 
want to try out if it's boring or addictive.
Maybe this is something a national ( german, uk, france, italy, ...) 
OSMF-section could manage.

PS.: One of my GPS-Devices is already booked for another journey with a friend 
for this weekend. This is how I get part my tracks. I think this is the 
easiest way how you can get more than one GPS traveling around for your track 
collection.
