It mostly gathers dust in the cupboard now, but it occasionally gets an outing when my kids use my better, more modern, rucksacks.
I didn't know when I bought it, but the 'L' stands for Ladies model. The sneaky bar-steward in Tisos in Aberdeen didn't tell me at the time.
A quick update on my 1984 LBC 55l Berghaus rucksack. An obituary infact. It has now gone to the great bothy in the sky (or the nearest Fife Council landfill site).
Quite sad to have to bin it.
I hadn't realised it's possible to get emotionally attached to kit. But it had to go; the interior lining was flaking badly and was making such a mess. It looked like it had a bad case of scabies.
