    Just to clarify, the dream isn't to own a locker, but getting it fitted is a clear sign (along with my wife retiring at the end of June) that the dream of indefinite remote travel is not far away . For the record, I have the best wife in the world, & when I told her about a locker being good 'insurance' a couple of years ago (for just the reasons Winnie posted) she insisted that we have one.

    On dreams - the one we are about to embark on for the rest of our lives (unless we decide to do something different) is the fourth in a 'series'. The first was to move to Australia back in '87, getting visas took several attempts over several years, but we didn't give up. Second was to move to the bush & live an isolated self sufficient lifestyle which we did for 20 years. It was hard yakka but we loved it. Third was to convert a bus & travel around Australia. That took over 5 years of planning & saving & is probably the best thing we have ever done together, & it brought us closer together than we imagined was possible. Now 7 years later we are close to beginning the next chapter. The theme of our lives together going right back to when we met in 1980 ihas been deciding what we want, making a plan & being persistant in making it happen. It's something we feel proud of. When either of us has felt we have been going nowhere or the plan has been languishing the other has always managed to provide the needed support. We're a pretty bloody good tag team.

    Don’t worry about the photo comp Mark, all taken care of, it’ll be in good hands. Looking forward to getting some new pics to post as entries.

    Just make sure you practice and practice and practice some more
    no point having all the gear with no idea on how to do it.
    E-lockers are a good bit of kit be it a bit pricey probably to
    counter the cost of a compressor. Look forward to plenty of pics
