Aside from having the knowledge of the best areas to find the two target species, I take a back seat, as with previous meets they have all been very informal, relaxed and highly enjoyable weekends.  | Sounds good. What is public transport (ie rail links) like? |

For upton fen you need the CoastHopper service from Acle - the stop you want is Pilson Green. Can't find a timetable though, and they're infrequent, so trying to arrange a lift at strumpshaw might be a good idea. |

Hope you're up to it John, it'll be good to see you again - and the rest of the posse from Priory Water last year!
