Gazza you know my choice at the moment.
I have a freedom trolley which is good, but to start of with i would go for backpack.
Reason is:
Your round is like mine and you will need to change over to wfp as cheap as you can (skint like me...
).
You then have the cheapest option of wfp system when needed, combined with your trad methods.
More money then can be laid out when you have proven that the wfp method in your area is taking of.
Then you buy a transit 06 plate with one of them big water tanks in or you buy a ladder stop.
So my method would be cheapest route first to see what lies a head.
Well i think i have covered this for you..........
See you all after christmas........
