She also made the point that I should include items such as watches, rucksack, glasses, specialist clothing and mobile phone within the overall total. The company is Norwich Union.

I will let you know what I find out.

As to the question of muggers, don't let the bxxxxxxs get you down. Life is too short not to try to enjoy it, having taken sensible precautions.

If your checking the policy, look out for phrases like, "kit items", Ours gave an example of a set of golf clubs, no matter if you bought them seperately, your valuation must be the total kit, not the individual parts. I've increased mine to £2,500, and I've insisted they phrase it : "camera and accessory equipment." That way it includes tripod, mono-pod, bag etc.
