Love the series, Adam, especially the last two as I'm a BIG fan of black and white and also waterfalls.
As for the requirement to lighten the load, it's a very moot point with me at the moment. As a 50+ year old bloke, I'm trying to lose a load of weight and get fitter this year. Having now got the kit I'm comfortable with, I don't want to keel over and not get the enjoyment out of it.
When Lara and I went to Malta and Gozo last year I made a conscious effort to travel light - taking my Rolleiflex and a digi thing. However, if we get lucky with bonuses and we're able to afford the holiday we'd really like (and we have a few options from which we'd like to be able to choose), I don't want to have to restrict myself too heavily.
If we end up in Scotland, touring in the car, it's no problem carting round the 'Blads and whatever else we want.
