Bags and the like

I never realised there were so many different types of rucksack. After a few months of investigation I am looking at non top loading rucksack. It should be a lot easier to access everything I need and must still be large enough. Around 65l should do it. Carribee have a nice one that has lockable zips and a few other very useful features. More money than I had hoped to spend on a bag but it should be a worthwhile investment.



It occured to me that a solid laptop case would be awesome if I can find one small enough. The last thing I need is a broken netbook in the middle of nowhere.

Blogging is srs bsns

It was a dark and stormy night. . . ok well it wasnt. It was actually the end of a rather boring quiet night shift when I decided that my future trip to Africa should be recorded on a blog so this is experimental blog testing . . . take 1!

As I mentioned, I am planning a wee tour of Africa this summer. Kind of a get away from work and have some thinking time trip. Nothing is booked although I will be in London next week to buy some things I will be needing. It may be a good idea to look into vaccination type things while I am in there. Scotland is also on my itinerary so I will get the chance to catch up with some friends.

I'll add to this as I develop the plans.
