Ramblings

So, you've got your sandwiches, a can of coke, a map and maybe a jumper. So what the hell else do these nutcases carry?!

I'll see troops of 10 or so ramblers all with massive rucksacks out on a day trip. I carried less when I went away for a year!

I really don't get why they use telescopic sticks either. Maybe because of the weight of those huge bloody bags

they're used to wave at, and if they get in range poke, the oiks on horses and bikes who have the nerve to use the ~2% of the bridleway system you don't have exclusive access to...

lampshade, coatstand, large umbrella.....oh sorry wrong type of bag! :lol:
Erm well waterproofs can take up a lot of room I guess, if some of them are birders too then they may be carrying a telescope of some description. Maybe a three course meal complete with giant flask of tea?

Saying that he has a tent/sleeping bag with him so dunno.

Do you think you get the rambler equivalents of weekend warriors?
