I'm going tomorrow, have booked a spot in the Gateway hide, the forecast is good, so fingers crossed I'll come back with a smile on my face rather than the usual pained frustrated look!

Thanks again!

Glad you're motivated again. Always a good mind to be in

One thing though, try not to rely on your ISO because using it at 1600 isn't half as good as using it at 400 or 640. If it really is too dark to use a lower ISO then fair enough, but I'd always use the ISO escape route as a last resort.

Good luck for tomorrow and looking forward to the Kites!
