About Me I was born in Philadelphia, USA, in 1964, and have lived all over the world including India, Africa, the UK and Australia, where I worked on a cattle station in the Kimberley before starting work as a photographic assistant in 1988. I started working as a freelance photographer in London in 1991, worked in India and South East Asia for two years in 1998/9, then lived in Bristol for three years between 2000 and 2002 completing a Master of Arts. I have been based in Barcelona, Spain since 2003.

water pockets
Here's another view, this time with the pack. I use Pacerpoles, and the water pockets don't really get in the way. I can move them forward too- depending on the hip belt and how I an...

Storm in a teacup- bad form by the OP.
I think the OP has handled this very badly. He should have let Mr. Moak respond privately and have sorted it out privately. It has no place on this forum, despite the OP's explanation. I'...

ULA Circuit
Circuit review: I've used the new Circuit for only day hikes so far, with all my 3/4 day gear (weight: ± 9 kg, including 1.5l of water- about 20 lbs) to see how it was, and it has been really ...
