Anyone Fancy Northumberland?

[Phil]

I'm gutted I can't make this!

Have fun everyone, I'm sure it'll be a fantastic experience

[CanonChrissy]

Well if we plan in advance next year we might have a bigger crowd but then again this year may be a disaster......

[Ryewolf]

Actually, I might bring the Venus lens, maybe we could have a 30 minute challenge and see what we got. I don't mind bringing it, if you've got a Canon camera it will fit. It is maually everything, though....

[CanonChrissy]

Haha sounds fun. Had email from national trust. They said puffin numbers are at their peek. The 1st eggs hatched last week. He recommends tip to inner farne as closest access to puffins. Not sure I can do the longer trip as we have decided not to stay over so need to drive both ways. The trips are at 12, 1, 2 and 3 pm. The 12 midday be best for me but what about everyone else? Once we have the boat trip decided we can book the tickets. Let me know if the 2.5 hour inner farne trip suits all

[Ryewolf]

The Inner Farne boat trip at midday is fine with me.

[CanonChrissy]

Champion...geodar is that ok for you? We can either meet at the booking office, in the car park or in a coffee shopshop. What if weather is pants?

[Ryewolf]

A couple of big big umbreallas and a camera storm jacket.... never photographed in the rain before, but I'd imagine you get a different sort of shot. I've appealed to the weather gods, it worked when I went with Leon to Ingleton... Coffee shop, there cam't be that many of them, I was thinking TIPF Badges to help recognise each other..

[geodar]

12 o'clock trip fine for me.

if weather forecast pants re-do visit for later in the month.

haven't got a badge so got a red carnation

geoff

[CanonChrissy]

Haha a red carnation on my waterproof jacket! Lovely. Hmmmmm I will get my thinking caps on.

[CanonChrissy]

Have checked the weather on 2 websites. No rain so that's good.

 

[CanonChrissy]

Me too! Cassie (my Camera...Cassie Canon) doesn't like even a spot of rain!

[CanonChrissy]

Ok its getting close. Geodar & ryewolf are you booking the 12.00 mid day trip to Inner Farne with Billy Shiel's? Where shall we meet and recognise one another?

[Ryewolf]

Yep, I'm all booked on the Inner Farne trip. There's a couple of coffee shops (according to Google maps anyway) Rosemarys and Koffee & Kreme, we could meet outside there. I thought I'd make a badge to pin on me we TIPF and my screen name.

What time?

[geodar]

booked for 12.

don't forget some change for car park.

i'll be there around 10.30ish (at car park) and then go for a wander then can meet up.

i'll be the one in the trunks and life jacket (you never know).

geoff

[Ryewolf]

I was thinking off arriving at about that time to Geoff, it's gonna get confusing as I'm also called Geoff.. Anyway we need to pin down a time and place to meet.

[CanonChrissy]

Im called Chris. I'm the blonde curvy lady with glasses no trunks and no lifejacket! My hubby is coming to cycle back home whilst I go on boat trip. He will beat me home!

[CanonChrissy]

Boat trip booked

[Ryewolf]

So predicted forecast for Sat (Weather .co uk, Met Office)

Sat 13. Jun:
Cloudy - 11° High - Chance of Rain: 20% - Wind: NNE at 17 mph

Overcast - 10° High (feels like 7°) - Chance of Rain: 10% - Wind: NE at 16 mph

Of course it could all change by Sat.

[CanonChrissy]

BBC weather says no rain!

[Ryewolf]

Yes, I've just checked the BBC, it forecates light rain at 7am, followed by thick cloud then light cloud, so likely to be a bit gloomy on the islands, also quite windy 16-17mph and not very warm at 11°. The weather gods did promise no rain, should have asked for clear skies and no wind as well.

[CanonChrissy]

Higher ISO if cloudy however, when its overcast you can pick up a lot more details.

[Ryewolf]

Lets hope it's not to cloudy. We still need to sort out a time and place to meet.

[CanonChrissy]

I will get there about 11. We have to pick our tickets up by 11.40. There's a gift shop, farne gift shop opposite the public toilets. How about there for about 11 am? If you guys are meeting earlier I will let you sort that between you. Is that ok for everyone?

[Ryewolf]

Yep 11am is fine for me.

[geodar]

ok for me
