A couple of years back I was at Whinny Hill FIBUA training ground in Catterick on an exercise and we must have scared off some visitors to the site because I came across a daysack. Inside was a Canon 450D camera, a lens, a small Velbon tripod, a Fenix torch and a few memory cards (All blank) amongst other more trivial crap. I made a few good attempts to find the owners, no questions asked, even went as far as posting on here and a few other sites to see if there might be someone on the off chance that was a user or a lurker who had lost it. I figured it had to be someone interested in the subject at hand rather than a casual visitor as a Fenix torch isn't something you come across outside of explorers really. I never did find out who it was. I still have the stuff to this day.

So I lost my Manfrotto clamp thing for like a month. Could've sworn i left it in the car. Anyway it was gone. A month after It's dissapearance we were enroute to something in Micham when we stopped off at Stewarts plastics to prove to myself it wasn't on the roof. Amazingly it was...

I tend not to leave things behind, @goan on the otherhand has left countless things in Mine and @AJ 's cars over the years.

This weekend we went 'white water rafting' in Stockport. It had rained and the water was a little choppy.
I managed to fall out into the river Goyt, hung onto an overhanging branch and lost my brand new dinghy, and my passenger.
SLG arrived a few minutes later and saw me dripping on the shore "You appear to be without a boat".
Spotted the dinghy in the Mersey about a mile downstream but couldn't get to it. RIP Little Lee.
