Kit that's allowed to be carried on the outside of a rucksack...

[Magentus]

i've absolutely no idea, still no forthcoming data re. knobber definition. it is, however, a stunning bit of modding, really top work there. i wonder how much effort it takes to turn it back into a servicable wheelchair?

What does his red sash say?

Nah, they're not wheelchair wheels............

Still on the subject of Knobbers...is this one ? is carrying other rucksacks on the outside of your rucksack allowed.

Miss humberside 2005.

[shaggystu]

Nah, they're not wheelchair wheels............

sorry, i don't quite follow. are you saying that it isn't a modded wheelchair?

[Magentus]

Miss humberside 2005.

I Knew I recognised him from somewhere. That's not an easy sash to win, but it's a bit sad that he still wears it 7 years later.

[blacktimberwolf]

but it's a bit sad that he still wears it 7 years later.

No I don't think it's sad, it matches his rucky straps & although he has lost a bit of weight since he won, he's still a pretty lass.

My lips are sealed, I've said too much already.........

slightly too criptic for me. until someone tells me differently i'll trust the evidence of my eyes and go with what i'm sure to be true, it's a modded wheelchair

Still in with a chance for Miss Humberside 2012 do you reckon? I bet he still turns a few heads.

But why would you mod a wheelchair to carry a rucksack? It just doesn't make sense. Especially for someone as high profile as Miss Humberside 2005. If the red tops got hold of that picture it'd be curtains for the poor lass.

OK then, let me make it clearer without spilling the beans.... " oh my, sounds like a naked grizzly, but it can be frosted even during summer"..... now you can see that it can't possibly be a modified wheelchair....but you're right about one thing, the object in question does have wheels.....

[shaggystu]

erm.....bare glass!......erm.........not good at criptic, sorry

Was it really originally a wheelchair? I was thinking pull cart for golf clubs?

i don't know, it looks very much like a wheelchair to me, but trying to get a straight answer is proving to be quite difficult

[Johnnyboy1971]

Looks like one of those carts you put kids in behind your bike thats been modded

[bayleaf]

surely you mean; water, military............you need to be careful or the NATO stock number fetishists will be after you

Ahem.......'Water military drinking/ combat/ temparate zones.' to be absolutely correct.

thanks for that, nice to know that my eyes/memory aren't deceiving me, it'd be a bad show really if i couldn't recognise a wheelchair after all those years spent working in care

[southey]

NO ONE CARES BTW btw!

[zarkwon]

No knives on front straps? That's me out. My ukpk lives there. Also, Tilley T3 on top, camera on front, hiking poles on back (when not in hand or part of camp), rope (allowed) underslung and if anyone can fit a Nanok Osprey into an OMM Villain along side ANYTHING else then they are a better man than me.

[zarkwon]

I sometimes have these strapped one to each side too if I'm going to be venturing off the footpath.
