I carry practically everything with me too. Every september, I head off to Cornwall, on my own to take photo's. Dont care what the weather is like, as long as I can keep my camera reasonably dry. Sometimes I have trouble walking with all the gear, but that is part of the fun. Keep up the photography, and dont forget to post.

Seems that Peter is suffering in the same manner because he owns up to carrying a similar amout of gear also. Me? I carry a digital camera....period! However, keep those great pics coming, we will appreciate them even more now that we know just how much effort you put into them.

My binoculars will take pride of place around my neck, but my camera has to be just as handy. What is this Rover AW that you mention, and is there a special backpack Dennis (or is it Daniel )?
