lol, don't think we've been asked this before. lol.

I used to take everything but the kitchen sink out with me, but since meeting mendo, I've started cutting down on taking stuff out.

I wear:-

Vest top, with T-shirt on top, so if it's coldish i'm warm, but can take either off depending on how hot it is.
Fleece,
Jeans,
OR those walking trousers I got from Aldi. Can either be trousers, or if hot, can zip off the bottom part to make into shorts.
Normal sock, and rambling boot socks,
Rambling boots, as they're sturdy and waterproof.
Baseball cap if it's hot, and tie hair up in ponytail lol.

In bag,

Camera,
Spare memory card,
Box of batteries,
head torch,
torch,
tissues, (loads of em lol),
Pack of baby wipes,
(lip balm lol).

Food,

normally cheese and onion sandwiches,
mars bar,
bottle of water, or powerade,

and the compulsory bag of cadbury's mini eggs.

Oh and not forgetting the tripod, but that's in it's own bag.

Sal

ps, ooooooooops nearly forgot doh.

lighter, cigarettes, purse and keys.

er you missed off the riding crop you had on the drains meet sal

 

[Boatbird]

As I only ever seem to do splores with a car and toddler in tow... so I'm never far from the car for too long!

camera (Sony a290 DSLR) with one lens (28-55mm at mo but should be getting a new camera bag soon so full kit will be with me- tripod, cokin filter set (for B&W)and 70-210mm lens) spare SD card (and hopefully spare battery as I seem to go thru it veryyyy quickly)
phone (use crappy 2mp camera on it when I don't have posh camera)
baby wipes (far superior to bog roll and multi use!)
antiseptic hand wipe (can be used as cut wash if needed)
spare top (actually in case himself pukes down me but hey ho)
in winter- welly boots- really should use them for climbing thru nettles occasionally too.....
juice and snacks.

Should throw a first aid kit and 'lady' kit in car too. I'm generally wearing jeans and a tee. Oh and I need a decent light/ torch too and a mask just in case!

Cheers matey, I'd forgotten all about that LOL.

Shows how long it is since me and mendo have caught up with everyone and explore something derelict. I'm desperate to get out and explore something when I have time (always bloody working nowadays so don't get chance to do anything anymore. :'( ).
