As trip organiser I reserve the right to make room allocations. Remind me again about the rules on WAB meets, birthdays and prime lenses...

Great stuff Nicola - an evening in the pub sounds like the perfect plan!

Speaking of plans, I've been doing some research into a Plan B just in case I've been sacrificing the wrong type of goat to the weather gods. I contacted Northumberland Wildlife Trust for some suggestions and a lovely lady named Laura Lowther has sent me a whole pack of info. Druridge bay looks like a good bet as there are no less than six NWT nature reserves, a country park, two local nature reserves and a National Trust site all contained within an eight mile stretch of fantastic coastline. (There's also an RSPB reserve on Coquet Island but a) you can't land there and b) if it's too rough for the Farnes it's probably going to be too rough for Coquet too.)
