British Wildlife meetup???

[lostprophet]

how about a meetup at The British Wildlife Centre one sunday?

its a stunning little place and you don't even need a big lens, 200mm is good enough

don't suppose there is a chance of holding off till september is there? Only I am back at uni and thus down in that neck of the woods then....no?

Well I will keepy my eye on this - would be great to meet-up and meet some of the faces behind the photos.

September is fine by me

well don't hold things for me - I might still be able to make it earlier:

arrival at Lingfield Station 10:40am
departure from Lingfield Station 5:40pm
and its only a quick taxi to get to the centre from there

only 4 hours on the trains

where abouts are you as there might be a chance of a lift

Suffolk = about half way between Norfolk and Ipsiwch - so its the local train to Ipswich and then on to london proper from there

*bump*
and back into new posts for people to notice - come on there have to be more than 2 of us

Tempting. If I go I'll no doubt drive. During September I'll be living in Leighton Buzzard so might be slightly iffy getting there. I need a date.

I need a date.

Calendar, or female?

I'm down that way next Sunday, funnily enough. I don't think I'll be too up for it, though; my longest focal length is 55mm, and I know exactly how much that sucks for wildlife shots!

Calendar, or female?

I won't answer that. You'll only end up with another PM about my love life.

maybe the question should really be "sheep or goat?"

:mrgreen: sorry

maybe borrowing a long lens could be an option. Depending on who shows up, someone might have a spare !

That could certainly be an option, or renting one. I'm eager to get a telephoto when I have the money, so it'd be nice to try one out.

Don't cross me off the list just yet then! Although it's one bloody long drive from up here.

(Sorry ferny, but you've gotta admit that's a funny line!)

Hope you end up making it nynfortoo! Judging by my previous attendances at the UK meetups, you'll have fun, hopefully try out someone else's lenses, and learn lots.
