Carrying case

[applecounty]

We have just purchased a Startravel 150 refractor, everything checks out so far. One really big question is: Can anyone recommend/suggest a source for a carry case or bag? Either would be okay.

Not always easy? But, as an idea of what's available (albeit from Germany):

Worthwhile doing a web seach on manufacturers, UK suppliers etc. I got quite a nice (but expensive) "Gitzo" photo-tripod bag for one of my many nefarious purposes. Another possibility, for a hard case, are the many and various TOOL BOXES that seem to fill shelves of DIY stores (Focus etc.) - You an often "ditch" internal fittings (if any). I found JUST the thing, that way! Worth taking a tape measure next time you're passing?

Thank you for the link. We have been down the DIY store route, including Wickes (I'm never sure if this company is 'trade' or DIY or both these days). Lots of huge boxes in all sizes, only not quire big enough for our needs.
