I got the fastpack 350 because I can fit my laptop in the section provided, saves on carying a separate bag.

current inventory at the moment is a K7 + 18-135mm, sigma 105mm, tamron 12-24mm, pentax 18-55, pentax 55-300mm, pentax 50mm f1.7 and in the top section assorted bits and bobs, filters spare cards etc.

As you can see from the pic it's not too heavy for "Mrs Snap, the photographer's wife" to lug around with a few bit of other kit

If I was returning to east anglia for a visit I'd time it for the cheap caravan holidays in the Sun. We've had a few at various camps around the country, Seton Sands being a favourite.

On the plus side I was prescribed Viagra after the prostatectomy, to increase blood flow and promote healing, the only problem was the world turned the same blue cast as my old Swiss slides but 5 stops brighter

Perhaps they just do it part time to keep their hand in
If you are serious I would do the test. It was only pure luck I received a letter about screening for prostate cancer and went along for the initial test. Just as well as it proved positive and the cancer was showing signs of capsular breach, all cut out now.
A year later for the usual reasons, I went for a colonoscopy, it was discovered I had bowel cancer, and had the op which was a straight forward cut and shut.
In both cases detection saved a lot of complications such as early death etc.
So taking part in such screening is not that much of a pain in the bum

Sounds true to me Tony, at least they didn't use the "gold" paint ref "only fools and horses"

If you don't want to wear yourself out the first day do a tour on one of the special buses (if they are running this time of year?) it goes around all the places of interest mentioned by David then you can pick out the "must go back and shoot" at your leisure. There is a bus stop very near Jessops if you need anything in an emergency. At the back of British Home Stores there is one of those cash converter shops you might pick up a bargain lens
Think the Royal Yacht is worth a visit.

I wonder if I used to show up on the Humber chart when sneaking in from the amathyst gas field to get in phone range. We used to monitor any ships in the area approaching the platforms and with all the ID systems there was no hiding place .
