Thank you for your response. It is much appreciated. I'll remember to pack those items as one can never be to safe.
Thank you for taking the time to respond. I shall keep that in mind when travelling to decide what would be best based on where I am going, what the weather is like and so forth.
Thanks for the kind response. So at the very least keep a clean cloth to clean the lens, water to keep hydrated and grab a bag of mint Imperials then. Might forget my mobile phone. I have a sister who rings me up constantly. I think I'd never take any pictures if I took my phone with me.Something to clean the front of the lens with, and to wipe hands with.
Water, mints, mobile phone and keys to get back in again
Thank you for the kind and informative response. What would you describe as outdoor gear? I will have to get up-to-date on map reading an using a compass. It's been sometime since I used them. Thank you. You've certainly given me much to think about. It is truly appreciated.
I carry spare clothes to layer up or down as the weather shifts, full set of waterproofs, carry a cap to keep rain off my glasses, helps with the sun too if it shows, first aid kit, small pocket knife and an emergency foil blanket. This is over kill for most, but if you push into the mountains or the open countryside, it can be used to help yourself or another.
Thank you. I think I will carry with me a number of items you and other forum members have listed. It is better to be prepared than not be prepared and have some issue arise. Thank you once more.

I still prefer paper maps as I don't rely on phones & apps due to power, signal and screens can get broken
Thank you for you humouress response. Duley noted about taking my testicles with me.
Thanks for the response. It's truly appreciated. I can only imagine how bad it must be at your Tesco's. Good to know about the fire starter and sterilising tablets. I didn't even think of them. I'll look into it. Thanks.I'm afraid I carry a LOT of stuff. Lets say I like to be prepared. My basics are always a torch, hand sanitiser, water sterilising tables in my wallet, swiss army knife, fire starter kit and waterproofs and first aid, but in reality it's a ton more stuff even when I'm not carrying a camera. Heck I carry this when I go to Tesco... mind you havent seen how bad my Tesco is.....

Bloody hell. I'll have to be extra careful round Swansea then. Over zealous police officers I take it? I'll have to put it on my list for future excursions to LLanelli. Thanks.I went to Swansea once. I ended up in the cells at the police station.....
Llanelli was nice though
He was speeding at 20.5 mph, followed by a panda car with Drippy in the back seat (Drippy = Drakeford).
and petrol stations. As I was heading towards East Horesely yesterday I was noting the stations/prices and Esso Bookham was at least 5p less for 95Ron than most other stations in the area...Thanks for the heads-up. Unfortunately I don't drive so it's all public transport and on foot for me. Though while in my mid-thirties it's still always nice to know where the toilets/bushes and trees are. I was thinking of taking a roll of toilet paper in my pack incase of public toilets having no toilet paper. Your response is much appreciated.He was speeding at 20.5 mph, followed by a panda car with Drippy in the back seat (Drippy = Drakeford).
And Robert, if you are of more advanced years, a mental note of the nearest toilets/bushes/trees
Public transport.... Wales...? No chance mate. I hardly ever see a bus. They might have them in Cardiff the "capital" but in my corner, they come about once a fortnight.
Good to know mate. That one is scratched off the list.
Thanks for the response, much appreciated. So buy a portable seat at the least. Insect repellent as well. I have to agree with the chocolate. Thanks.
There's nothing wrong with a good Dock Leaf.
I carry a midge head net for horseflies (I'm mildy allergic) but I'm wary of repellent, the army stuff with Deet used to melt the plastic parts on the weapons. Not tried it with cameras and I'm not going to.
Certainly looks that way with all of the suggestions mentioned. If I can't find a horse do you think I could get my misses to act as my bag carrier.
I am so dead if she reads this.I can't blame you for not trying especially if it has the same affect on your camera. You don't want to lose the money you spent on a camera by trying it. Thanks for the response. Much appreciated.
A foam pad or plastic bag should do the job
That's true. The plastic bag is always handy when it comes to sitting on wet benches. Keeps your backside dry. Thanks.
There’s only one way to find out for sure - and it would need a braver man than I am Gunga Din,I wonder just how many people know what a tart's ar** smells like.
Asking for a friend...
Inspiration!
Thanks for the information. I will take it all in heed and research and learn from others. I will admit I was more than likely wandering aimlessly around with a camera when I head out. Thanks for the help.
Thanks for the insight. It is truly appreciated. I have two SD cards for the camera. But I was wondering if the sizes were overkill? They are 128 GB and 64 GB. So take what you need and the rest of the time keep it stored in the bag and just remove what is not required for the trip. Thank you.
Thanks for letting me know. It's truly appreciated. Thank you.
