Default Libelle Camelbak stowage

Why dont you just put it behind your head like everyone
else?!

The seat pan / control column support wasnt designed
to have a camelbak 'lashed' to it and its easier to
work with gravity than against it!!

A long while back somebody (Ian Molesworth?) mentioned
'lashing a
Camelbak under the beam supporting the stick' in a
Standard Libelle.

With the season visible on the horizon I'm wondering
how he did that.
There's obviously sufficient space available under
the beam and little
chance of fouling the controls because the stick linkages
are are inside
the beam and the rudder cables run in plastic tubes
attached to the
cockpit walls. My question is - how is the Camelbak
tied down to stop it
getting where it shouldn't be? There are no obvious
tie down points in
that area.

If anybody on r.a.s has done this I'd very much like
to know the secret.

TIA
