    Non UK Sri Lanka

    Not really we went on an organised trip with "Exodus", a couple of weeks wandering round the highlights of the island with an exceptional guide. We normally use "Explore", but in this case, the Exodus trip included Yala, whereas the Explore one had more beach time, and even more temples. Both...

    Non UK Sri Lanka

    It would need planning in advance to book a driver, but Yala national park would certainly be on my list of locations to re-visit. If it's of any interest, my own drivel is here on Flickr. Not particularly high class stuff, more (long) a series of snapshots to remind us of a holiday, which my...

    Not looking good for the Hen harrier

    Unfortunately some press articles don't do much for the Hen Harrier's conservation effort; e.g. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3076106/Do-gooders-obsessed-increasing-population-avian-predators-letting-killer-birds-terrorise-countryside-attack-pets.html Have a read of the last section...

    Nexus 7 2012 & 2013 Tablets and no Lollipop update available

    You say it did it, past tense. Was that lost its update notification, GPS or both? Does that mean you cured it or sold it?

    Seeking, don't laugh, an inflatable camera bean-bag.

    How about the bladder out of a wine box?

    Nexus 7 2012 & 2013 Tablets and no Lollipop update available

    Well here's a strange one.A little while ago, on my Google 4 I had a message saying the update to Android 5 was available. I didn't have time to do it then, but the message then disappeared. When I now check for updates, it stays at 4.4.4 and says phone is up to date. I wonder if they have...

    MyMemory fakes or not?

    Another ringing endorsement for them. I even remember a few years ago when I became aware that Sandisk were doing a software offer with some of their cards. I only found out right as the offer was closing, so following a phone call from me, a chap from MyMemory even went personally to their...

    Waterproof bag for d7100 and 28-300vr

    I was considering a waterproof shoulder bag for a specific trip, but chickened out in the end. The two main contenders were these; http://www.intro2020.co.uk/pages/interceptor.html and http://www.ortlieb.de/_prod.php?lang=en&produkt=digishot In the end I used a normal backpack and a few...

    Camera bag for flying with ryanair

    I used a Dryzone 100 when we went to Malta without any issues. Handy as it rained when we got there too :( I also recommend a photographer's waistcoat; I've managed over 5Kg in one on occasion.

    Camera bags that look stylish

    Might be worth looking at the Naneu Pro Lima in Olive green. Doesn't look particularly like a camera bag, but will hold a decent sized body and about 3 lenses, plus a 7" tablet. http://www.naneubags.com/products-by-series/military-ops/lima
