I'll check out the Canon, thanks. I usually take my trusty Sigma 50-500 (non IS) with the 7dii and have started taking my 40d with a Sigma 10-20 as well. But this is quite a bit of kit for hiking and more so for a trip around a museum or other such event so I was looking at an all-in-one for...

My trusty old Sigma 18-200 has finally given up the ghost and I am looking for a decent walkaround lens to take where a bag full of lenses would be restrictive, ie I would use the 18-200 for aerial shots and then go walking around outside of the airfield (weight & balance for the aeroplane would...

As has been mentioned Fleet Pond (one of my favourites), Frensham Little Pond (has a nice cafe with a hide and screen further around the lake) and the Blackwater Valley walk. Also checkout the River Wey walk, starts at Godalming and goes through Guildford and up past the M25 (There is little...

I am visiting the Gower Peninsula in May/June and would appreciate any location advice on places to visit whilst out there. I am staying at Caswell Bay and intend to do coastal walks either side of the bay (and the Bishopston Valley walk) as well as a trip to the Brecon Beacons. Does anyone have...

I've been a few times and viewing is very easy. the fences are low or you can look over them on a few mounds, you can also get across to the pit area and view the track from the inside, but you can be a bit far away for some corners. I watched rallycross and truck racing which were both good fun...

Just recieved this e-mail from the school about copyright and our photocopying and the last line stuck out for me " The College currently holds a CLA (Copyright Licensing Agency) License This means that we have legal access to most copyright materials and that we can photocopy and/or scan any...

I could tell you, but then I would have to kill you ! :) The prisons and the QinetiQ facility near Cowes if memory serves. There is a danger Area to the West of Cowes also (Shepherd's Hill) The rocket test area near the Needles (New Battery) was once highly classified but is now open to the...

One of the handy things about being a pilot... no fences to get in the way when you want to shoot the top secret stuff :) Ashley

I'm visiting the Isle of Wight in May, and would also like some decent shots of the Needles. I have visited Bembridge & Sandown as they are the only two airfields on the island so am looking to visit the West and South coasts of the island. I have thousands of aerial photos of the coastline so...

Thanks for the replies. I had a great time in Wales. Never got up Snowdon as the weather was never clear enough but was able to go to lots of other interesting places. Caernarfon Castle was a great place when its wet as you go through a maze of 'tunnels' around nearly the whole length of the...

I am visiting Snowdonia at the end of May and would like to visit some nature reserves and would welcome any suggestions I'm staying near Beddgelert so will visit the nearby lakes and of course attempt to walk up Snowdon but may need oxygen halfway up :) If you have any non-nature suggestions...

Does anyone know where to watch high speed watersports (speedboat, jet ski, etc) in the SE of England? Thanks,
