About uk_exile
Biography:
I'm not british. Its a username only! I'm a kiwi, born here, lived here 29yrs then due to work moved to UK late 1990s. Returned to NZ 2003. It was while working in UK that I chose my online username for all online stuff and have kept it ever since. It's not because of any connections or loyalty to UK. Have only been back once to UK since 2003 as part of an european holiday. Can't say I hated UK but certainly disliked the lack of freedom & was just there for work. It simply wasn't me or my happy place.
Location:
Havelock/Linkwater or Ashburton Lakes

    Yep - throw the wrist strap of each pole over the handle of the other to create a cradle. Quicker to set up than dragging a set of shooting sticks out of your pack.

    The bag that comes with the luminoodle version is translucent, chuck the light in it and hang in a tent for a softer light.
