looking out some kit

I had a cunning plan to use a card reader and an external hard drive attached to a powered USB hub which in turn gets attached to either my phone or tablet to sort out photos on the go. Unfortunately, it's not working as I intended. Ah well, I will have to take my laptop along then. Or - more likely - I'll just process the images when I am back. More annoying is that it is extremely unlikely that my new camera rucksack will arrive in time. I'll need to do some careful thinking how I carry all the stuff and what I can bring along.
