wri5hty Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 while setting out trial's the bag's we use for the course markers are useless flop about all over fall off my shoulders and on steep down hill's the flags usually fly straight over my head and land in a heap on the floor im sure im not the only one to have this problem. so if anyone know's of a bag that does the job or a design that seems to work well we can get them made up easily enough.the bags we use at present are self made of a square shape fairly deep and wide fine when full but half empty total sh**e. the course markers we use are about 3ft in length and made with bamboo canes. the lads who use them are of vairying size's from me 11 stone soaking wet (more mr bean than mr universe) to the slightly bigger lads 15 stone say. so if you have any solutions to this ploblem or found any thing that work's it would be great if you could help.

perce Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 We get bags made specifically, they'll make any size or shape that you want. We've got them with single shoulder straps as well as the double strap style one in the picture, they mostly have an internal zip pocket in them too. I haven't got the details at hand but can get them if you are interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mick Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 We use newspaper delivery bags, ask at your friendly newsagent if they have any spare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wri5hty Posted September 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 cheers Perce if you could send the info that would be great. i have a seamstress in the family who could nock a rough one up and if they work well we would order a few. are the single strap the type that comes down across the chest? do you think they would be able to add a chest tightener on the double strap like you get on the bigger ruck sack's. and thanks Mick will give that a try too.

hillary Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 The bags that Perce is referring to - the ones in his picture - are made by Daleswear of Ingleton. They make them to order and cost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
