The coffee shop is literally just inside the door, not very far to stagger.
If you are late the flying displays at 11.30am, 1.30pm & 3.30pm. If you can't find us wallowing in coffee around those times make your way to the bird of pray centre.

Just to finalise thing for this event as I will be off the away for two weeks.

The meeting date is Saturday 26th,September
Entry cost is 6.80 or 5.40 for those older and wiser than me
Suggested meeting time is 10am in the car park unless that is inconvenient!

The website is http://www.thorpperrow.com/

The location is Google Maps

A travel tip if you are coming from the Beadale direction, ignore the left turn to Thorp Perrow village, follow the brown tourist signs.

The venue has extremely poor mobile signal so don't rely on contacting others for directions.

I use the flipside 400 on a daily basis and will not be parted from it. I find its best feacher is being able to lay it on the ground and change lenses with ease and no pick pocket can remove my camera. It takes all my camera gear without any trouble, however when I go hill walking I have no room for all the safety bits and bobs + food.

No ripping apart, just sorry you going.

I have two backpacks at the moment AW trekker and a Flipside 400, both don't fit the bill, The AW is very heavy and has little storage room. The flipside only has enough room for a light raincoat, waterproof trousers, water bottle and that's about it without putting something in the camera compartment. I did have a look at this one link when I was last in a camera shop, although it's quite heavy and the zip is stiff.

I have a 70-300 1:4-5.6 APO on a K10D, I find it's ok up to 135 then goes very soft and the macro is not very sharp.

Just keeping this one in peoples mind. I am assuming that Saturday 26th September is the only day for this event, unless anyone has a different idea. The group booking form has failed to arrive at this point, I am assuming that they have not posted it, or the great British postal service has sent it to darkest Peru .

My attempts to get Sigma on board has fallen on deaf ears, still it was worth a try. I don't suppose anybody on the forum actually knows someone who works for them?

I count three water streams before the weed, one is very faint. It's the stream immediately on the left of the weed, the thick one. It looks to me as if something has obscured the lens, rather than it being water. Hope this helps Tim.

welcome to the forum johnducguz. Your first image in the gallery is stunning, I'm looking forward to seeing the rest.

It's the colour one for me, the subtle shades and textures are great. the only thing I find distracting about the shot is the third water flow from the left and that is an extremely minor point in a great picture.
