Had a dog pulling to get to his mate in one hand and was trying to keep hold of the Camera in the other.... Luckily it landed on the lense hood, and still works fine. Just a small rough area on the hood now.

Managed to get these pics of the new car after wards :D:

Yep that'd make me drop the camera too. One thing I can say about Jeeps is my Puma can recover them and tows them very well off road and on road.

they are also excelent for cooking marshmellows and most come with a built in self ignite feature.

If they could work out the timer for it tho it would be a lot more convenient.

I have my camera fully insured. It is very easy to drop it from the tripod :(
Some times the camera is ok by the optics in the lens can come loose.

It was near lithgo (Blue mts) 1 sec let me check the map...

Edit: Hassans Wall lookout.

About half way from Hassans Wall to Doctors gap there is a windy S's dropping in to the valley, there is a 4x4 gone over the edge there with the roof chopped off. Kerry spotted it.

I should look a insurance I guess, It was in my hand by my side, and I only have short legs so it didnt fall too far:o

Check you contents insurance for accidental damage and the maximum it covers per item.

Having recently arrived from the UK, I'm yet to arrange contents insurance.:( I guess this should serve as a warning.
