Best Bag For Hillwalking/Trekking

Hello all,

Right basically I have a Lowepro Slingshot AW200 currently, and while ample enough to carry my gear it does not fit anything in way of food/drinks etc and I do most of my photography out on the hills getting landscapes. Thus resulting in my friends carrying my food.

I've tried to research this a little but the majority of google results relates to the US with a lot of suggestions being backpacks that can only be bought in the US or imported.

I basically need something good with two compartments, one for my gear and one for food, clothes etc.

Currently i carry a 10-20mm, the Sony Kit lens, Minolta 135mm f2.8 and Minolta 70-210mm Beercan (I have a 35-70mm F4 but I think its going to be a retired lens).

I dont always use these lenses out and about, especially longer focal lengths but hey rather have them and not miss the shot than not have them and miss the great shot!

Is there any particular bags any one uses? I would like to try and keep costs down, i've seen some bags at £300! I'd rather have a new lens thanks lol. But I am open to suggestions.

Thanks,

Granty
