Apart from the levelling it sounds like we could have gone to the same school!
I was hoping that might be the case, so when I rang to say I'll be canceling at renewal, all they said was thanks very much, that's all been done, goodbye.!
Discovery 5 with LV. Last year was c.£800. This year they quoted £1100+. I cancelled the renewal, hastily, then shopped around and couldn't get it any cheaper. Ended up paying more in fact, as LV...
My original SGC grant was Dorset, and that took over a year too! Cumbria have been much more efficient.

I did some research on this a while back, as well as reading some of Sundial's excellent wisdom on several similar threads. I went for Swarovski Pocket Mountain CL 8x25. I spend a lot of time in the...
We also have the Poco Plus. Thankfully I get chunky discount from Osprey which helped with the price, they are not cheap! Our daughter likes it a lot, the sun shade and rain cover are ace. We met...

We've had two FL2's, loved them both in their own way.
First one was a 2007 model I think, cruelly taken away from us after being in a nasty head-on accident!
Second one was a 2010 HSE SD4....

HAGWE folks
Exactly the same size, just not pulled in to the wheel rim when removed so looks bigger.
