i modified the scope buggy by cutting off 3" off each rear axle. together with a crude ramp to get into the back "office" it certainly has and will make life much more simpler until i can get my observatory built. the scope buggy allows me to manoeuvre the scope on school/public viewing nights so i can set up at the car then take the scope to the viewing area.

Nice one Houghy. Can you use the scope while it's on the buggy?

I've low box shaped jewie trolley that I cart my livebait tank up the breakwaters on and sometimes brings back one or two jewfish (beat carrying them over the sholder.

I have been known to use it cart my scope and Jumpstarter about on it when I plan on observing somewhere I can't get the car in close enough because of fences.

I like your trike arrangement and especially the steerable front wheel .... , mine has 4 wheels and two of them came off an old shopping trolley (and aren't too good in sand)..
