I would home not Birdie, i think we leaft around same time and well was great day i think, most of it spent sitting around a table talking about gear and looking at others gear and yeh was great to meet some of our upper state members.
I enjoyed it and the 4 and a bot hour drive home wasn't bad either.

What did Rob do with his 200-400VR in the tour? I don't think he can shoot with it! Did he try to mount the 200-400VR your G1327?

Weather was fine, blue sky most of the day and 26C.

Rob shot hand held with the 200-400VR.
