It's a no brainier for me, I'd look to buy a glorified plastic bag cover Like the EWA Marine for a few hundred quid. Festival sounds fun though.

Hi Mark & welcome. You're just up the road from me too. Do you visit Malory park & or Donington park much? What Motorsport or just anything that goes fast?

Second on the think tank retrospectives. They are brilliant.

Be a bit of a dull forum then wouldn't it...

I thought that would make it a lizard too. No way I would ever hug a snake...

Ha ha! I've done this many a time! You'd be amazed at how unobservant the wife can be when she isn't interested in something....

Kiln dried definitely won't work, but I can't really see any sand doing it. Any sand put over gravel is just going to make a mess really.

Sharp sand would perform better than any other, but I'm not convinced that it would really work. As it dries out the sand will blow away over time. I'd buy a 25kg bag and test a sample area - see what you think before lumping out on a bulk bag. You could use a product similar to aco ground...

Those are great - how did you find it tracking the puffins? My old mk I struggled on them, reverted to the 70-200 last time. Not had chance to put the mk ii against something as small and rapid as puffins yet.

I never had issues with my mk I, but I'm sure others will agree that it could be 'sharper'. Try calibrating it - have you just got it?

I had a similar situation for 8 weeks at the back end of last year. Only thing that kept me slightly sane was TV boxed sets & doing processing on my laptop. Couldn't sit up at all. You have my sympathy.

Given your very limited budget id get down to an art / craft shop type affair and start looking for suitable pretty boxes etc... That you can jazz up a bit. Most of the companies that do what you are looking for have minimum quantities.

Welcome, you will find no end of great information on this website. Enjoy!
