Yep no worries, but you will have to get there early. Roads in and out of fairford are auwful on the Sat and Sun and the farmers field gets full up very early as well. More than welcome though :thumbright:

Definitely agree not the place for little ones... (or maybe even big kids who have a tendency to get over excited!!)

Think I might have to look into hiring the 200-400mm lense. However, if I haven't got round to selling my Canon kit by then I could dig out my 100-400mm lense to use. (I know I used that Canon word!)

And Gav may get a pass from looking after the little ones (although seeing he's in Namibia this summer, I don't know whether he should be allowed another weekend away / weekend off parenting duties!!)

Alex you should definitely hire the 200 - 400mm one of the pros that goes has one and its a greT bit of kit. If you do that can I borrow your 70-200mm? That's not the only reason I think you should hire the 200-400! :oops:

Alex, if I do come - and it may just be the day as I'm busy most weekends around then, and probably aught to do something around the house :surprise: - and you still have the 100-400 :whistle:


Other than that I might hire the 120-300 f2.8 siggy - just depends on the pennies at the time!

Did you ever get round to posting up what Canon Lenses you were going to sell?

Oh and do you mind if I change your username to AlexB to match up with GavinB as it makes it easier for me to administer stuff. Let me know on both :thumbright:

Nick, it's basically a farmers field, and I don't think I've seen tintents on there before, but I'll try and find out for you.
