help me bring the right gear to my Bath skyline walk!

hello,
i'm planning to do the Bath skyline walk on Saturday (if the weather is nice), I think the long trail is about 20 miles, so a few hour walk...

i can only fit 3 lenses (I know that's a lot already), but I dont want to miss a nice shot

I'm thinking about bringing:

- 10-20mm, the ultimate landscape lens!
- 10-17mm fishy, my brand new lens therefore very tempted to test it! also, fisheyes can look nice for landscapes... and I think I'll be shooting in Bath over the wkd so will probably want it there too...
- 17-50mm f2.8 tammy vs 18-250mm tammy, this is where I really hesitate, the 17-50 is sharp as hell and therefore tempting... but the 18-250mm will give me portraits modes and decent reach if nice views of the city from long distance...
- tripod? my gf would hate me! but if i were to do some nice panoramas I would need it..

I dont think I could fit a 4th lens in my bag, although there is always a way I feel like it would be a good exercise to choose the lenses before the trip... or am I just being silly!?

thanks

OK, this is my back garden, so to speak. I've not done the walk, but I'm familiar with a lot of the views that may present themselves.

Definite starter on the camera, the 17-50mm f2.8. Good all round performer which will give you the range to get most of what will present itself. I keep my 16-50mm on as my main walk about lens.

In your bag, the 18-250mm and the 10-20mm. Useful for long shots, details and the occasion v wide semi panorama. Probably won't see much action - but your inspiration is unique to you, so I may be off the mark with that comment. Leave the fishy in your room for the walk, but use it round town (or bribe gf to carry it for you - might see something that will cry out for it).

Weather this weekend is supposed to be promising - so worth an early rise on Sunday to get close to all the favourite photo ops with the warm early morning light (see the couple of shots of Bath in my gallery). Bath Stone is good in such light . Early = 7-7.30 this time of year.

thanks! I will follow your advice!

I'm not sure what time i'll get there but guessing midday, so the light wont probably be good!
