Hello – this is pretty terrible!
Second time in a week with no photos of the days adventures!
And my goodness did it POUR down with a vengeance for a lot of the day!!
Jeff and I took several of those boxes of books to the dealer in Ulverstone, offloaded a lot and added $100 to our kitty!!
But I then had to buy a new day pack. Really – I am a bit excited about my new bag. I might even take a photo tomorrow! haha – no-one else will be quite that excited over it, but I am a bit chuffed to have something new for me!
My other day pack that I have used to death is a hand-me-down of Jeff’s anyway. It gets stuffed full of camera gear, food, drink, spare jackets etc every time we go hiking. One zip has died and one strap is torn from the base of the pack. Probably only a matter of time before the whole thing gives way.
This new bag has a spot for the camel-back drink pack, a bit more capacity than the old bag. Lots of pockets and places to tie things on the outside if need be.
And even better it has a hip strap to distribute weight better.
Now -just for the weather to get a teeny bit less feral so I can go use it properly for the first time!
Cheers from wild and woolly Tasmania!
Glad you were able to sell some of your books. I have a collection that I want to start lessening but haven’t found any buyer so will have to donate them.
Can’t wait to see your new pack! Fun!
Thanks Teri! Its pretty hard to get rid of books isn’t it?? – I love them all so much 🙂
We considered donating the rest, but I might give myself the summer season of markets to sell the remainder cheaply – and by the end of the season if any remain… off to the donation box they go! With a good amount gone, at least the remaining won’t be so hard to transport around.
🙂
That’s great! I love to get a new pack. Thank you so much for sharing a little bit of your adventurous and fun life! I really appreciate reading about your adventures. 🙂
Hi Lisa! Its fun to have something new – I tested it out today on a walk – its very comfortable so I am pleased with it!
Glad to hear you enjoy the stories from my end of the world!! 🙂
Congrats on your new pack. Sounds like something you will really enjoy!
🙂 I took it out on a walk today! I really like it!! Its going to be a good day pack for when I am travelling in Japan soon too! I am all set! 😀
