Last night while packing for my holiday it struck me just how bad things are today with all the gadgets and stuff we carry around. I guess the list of things I packed says it all:
| USB Cable for WM5 phone and photovault | Laptop + Charger |
| Lensbaby | DSLR Cleaning kit |
| USB card reader | GPS data cable |
| Backup mobile phone on a different network | 4 x AA batteries and charger |
| USB Speakers for watching divx | 6 x Ilford HP5+ films |
| Spot Meter | 2 x Ilford FP4+ films |
| Nikon FM3a | Nikon FE |
| 12 to 220 volt adapter for car | D70 + Battery + Charger |
| Road Atlas | TomTom Navigator with latest speed cams loaded |
| WM5 Phone + Charger | Tourist books, reading books |
| D80 + Grip + 4 x AA Adapters + 18-200VR | Flash Light |
| 5 x Memory Cards | Tri-Pod |
| Notebook + Pen | Photovault |
That’s about it, all of this before even starting on clothing and other such things. Insane.
Anyway, so a bit about the holiday, we’re just doing a bit of a road trip to test out my new car, I only have 6 days leave this year after changing jobs and loosing 16 days worth in the process so this is all we really have time for ๐
The major stops are basically Cambridge (today), Bolsover for a castle there, York, New Castle, Lake District, Peak District and Royal forest of Dean, we’ll be back around christmas day.
