Yeah, looks like we have quite a few members are coming along. Wont be a problem since everyone seems friendly enough. From what I remember, lot of people coming from the Essex area. Iv'e only met Warren from POTN before and was good fun. Should be a lot more fun with more people and trying to shoot in Canary Wharf. Must be pushing 30 people by the sound of it! I'm gutted I can't come along Anke

I'm guessing here, but I'm sure the numbers have crept up steadily over the past couple of weeks. Anke

Ray.Petri I’m full of useless facts  More info | David Hogster - Good morning - Looking at your vibration problem - and you have obviously thought of it - could you make a simple anti vibration mount to suspend the camera from by mounting it between strong elastic bands similar to how a marine barograph was suspended to reduce the ships engine vibration.

I don't really know the area at all, so I was happy to just go with the flow. I think that's the second post you've made with detailed directions, so I think we've got our "tour guide" sorted out if nothing else  That will teach me to keep quiet in future!    Anyway, at the moment I am still not certain about Sunday, and will probably not know until if I can make it until the day itself. Although being the shy quiet type who hangs around on his own at the back of the pack no one will notice anyway! But for reference the above collection of terrorist targets were taken where the arrow points on this map . That is where the riverside path (not shown) leading from the Woolwich Ferry Pier ends. At that point you have to make you way through the somewhat windy estate to the main road, then cut through the Thames Barrier car park to rejoin the river on the west side of the Barrier.It is also directly opposite the Tate & Lyle refinery, and with a long enough lens a good-ish place to spot planes taking off and landing from London City Airport that is behind it. Although there will probably not be be many of those on a Sunday evening. You can either catch the train to Maze Hill station (on the map) or bus routes 177 and 180 towards Thamesmead run along the main road from Greenwich. Or you could get off either the train or bus at Charlton if you want to approach the barrier from the west. Michael. Comments, bribes, criticism, bribes, irrelevant anecdotes, and bribes always welcome.
