Timely thread this! - I'm paying my first visit over easter.

I think it was around £14 when I went last summer. Don't let that put you off though, it's an amazing place, well worth the fee.

 

Silky fox is the man to ask about what to see, he lives nearby:)

 

Cheers,Seems reasonable,Look forward to going.

Cheers for the tip Alec, I will hop on the train

Any in particular you want Rob, and any certain 'rules' for shots? I do remember you started a thread with particulars. Just close ups, scale in shot, tree form, image quality/size?

 

If you give me till the end of the day I'll post a list here. Won't be large, like I say, just need some winter buds/twigs

 

Image quality isn't a major issue due to them all being compressed for the website. As long as they are clear and sharp. For scale I used a laminated sheet of cm2 paper, but you don't have to go to extremes:biggrin:

Thanks for the replies so far, keep 'em coming

I have squared graph paper, so I will do my best, I reckon Ill go first half of April so should still be 'winter buddy'?. You'll have to make do without lamination though!

Zelkova's are good near the Brentford gate I think, and a very chunky oak down by the lake. As has been said the glasshouses are a must. Oh, and the treetop walk is good for showing people what your 'office ' is like if you climb.

If your thinking of taking kids leave their scooters behind as they'd rather tears at the gates than let a three year old play on their new toy.

 

Miserable old wotsits
