    Not bad at all… these guys in Germany are similarly priced.. but they only sell the bag seperatley. Bought from them a few times now.

    I’ll check out that store. Nice to have ‘options’ when it comes to buying stuff.

    Exchange Rate is A1 at the mo’… getting nabbed in Customs is a killer though… people might say ‘even with the charges it works out a great deal’ which is probably true… what kills me though is the 2 week delay it adds onto getting your goods. Big fan of buying from the States.. but it recently took close to 3 weeks for customs to process a package for me.

    Interesting. I have ordered a new lightweight tripod that I hope to try out at teh Mournes trip. Ordered last night from HK so let’s see if it arrives on time. If not, you’ll know who I am by the three pieces of angle iron welded together and hoisted over my shoulder.

    Railway cariage wheel? Luxury! In my day we had to use a millstone from a Derbyshire quarry and haul it all the way over ourselves, using it as a float in the Irish Sea.
