Chris, good luck tomorrow and regarding UK weather, it was blue skies, and 26 degrees for my Thursday wedding :-)

On other topics, nice to see you joined the ne FZ1000 thread.

We're on a ship in four weeks for three days and went on board yesterday to see how things will be set up. Thinking of this topic, I asked if we could get to the area we will be working by the route on the embarkation day. Small lift, long walk, but proper walkways, so some kit will need breaking down to fit, and it's going to be essential to have everything on wheels, it's a long way!

What would be great would be some kind of wheeled flat board that could have high sides and a mesh surround, so you could just fill it with odds and ends and then push it!

For me the most important thing is the wheels! My first trolley had castors and you cannot imagine how many issues you can have with small bumps, expansion slots in pathways and uneven ground. I have spent more time trying to lift laden trolleys over obstacles than actually rolling it!! Big soft pneumatic tires make life so much easier!! My trolley has 10" pump up tyres and I just built my framework (detachable) over the "rolling base" Makes life a whole lot easier!!
