With the Large ICU the space at the top of the sack is quite limited and would just hold a waterproof.

If I am going into the mountains and I think conditions will be good but have no specific shots in mind I will take the 5D fitted with the 24-105 in the top loader zoom and the 190 tripod. I would then have a rucksack for other gear.

Typical places - Carneddau, Snowdon, Glyderau.

If I am going into the mountains with others or just for a wander in conditions which don't promise much, I take the Canon G1X compact and Manfrotto compact action tripod or just on its own and support it on walking poles, gate posts, rocks, etc.

My colleague from the gallery, Nick, on the other hand only ever takes his camera fitted with the 17-40 as he will not take the lens off the body for dust spot reasons. He also always takes the tripod irrespective of conditions.

His camera goes in his rucksack housed in a top-loader zoom.
