Hi

Its been some 2 years since ive been to Gigrin Farm and just wondered if you guys had any preference on which hide is the best, i will be shooting with a sigma 500mm!

Thanks

Andy

either of the 2 specialist photography hides are good, ie the tower or gate hide, they have larger openings (tower hide is very open) to allow better panning etc, and are limited to number of people so you can get a decent range of movement on a tripod etc. I mainly use the tower hide, but if its windy and raining you can get damp in there due to the size of the opening !

Do you need to book in advance for the new photo hides? Not been there for some years, but hope to go soon! (I've also got a Sigma 500mm!).

yes you do and they cost a little more too, this should help :)
