Dave John Posts: 22335 Joined: 27th Feb 2011 Location: England | quotePosted at 21:25 on 3rd April 2015 Sling bag is another good idea, part backpac, part shoulder bags. Suggest you visit a shop with your gear and they will help you with various options, but as Rod says make sure you get one bigger than the gear you have now, you will be surprised whart else you will accumulate.. |

It will have to wait until we get back from the Lakes next week, unless I spot one on our travels. |

Have called in to them several times on my way to Ambleside, a very friendly and helpful bunch |

The bag I'm using has just about driven me to distraction today. It's zips are all in the wrong place, in fact everything about it is wrong, it's a Samsonite too, I don't know who designed it but I think they must have had their mind on other things. |

We used to bring fabrics in from Holland for them. Very expensive stuff that went into the manufacture of Kevlar |

SRB showed my order as dispatched the following day to my order but I guess having a bank holiday in the middle it is understandable. So not too much camera work this weekend- just green finger stuff although that did provide inspiration for a couple of shots. |
