I had a look at the forecast too.
However, the forecaster's hall of fame is an empty building.
Let's keep an eye on the outlook and make the decision towards the 3rd.

We need to start watching the weather forecast, and looking today it doesn't look very good for next sunday: Buienradar 14 daagse voor Dordrecht

Looking at the details it seems all rain is falling between 10h and 17h

I have a couple of thoughts about this (in random order)

1: There's also a lot of wind forecasted, so it still could blow over or get there much faster, it's still 5 days away
2: We still have a back-up date of oktober 24 "pencilled in"
3: There's no bad photography weather, only insufficient gear protection
4: Weather forecast for the 2019 Haarlem meeting was also very bad, but we went ahead and had a gorgeous day

I think it's too early to take a decision at this moment, but it's definitely something we need to discuss here further. Any other thoughts are very welcome.

Found a cheap Panagor 2x converter for Olympus OM in a second hand shop. And for oktoberfest I was considering the OM Zuiko 135/2.8 anyway, so I guess this now solidifies part of the plan.

"Dichter bij Dordt, hoe rotter het wordt. Maar zit je er eenmaal in, dan heb je 't naar je zin".....
To complete the rhyme!

Did we choose the right place?

I found this little rhyme:
“Tiel is niet viel, Bommel is rommel en hoe dichter bij Dordt, hoe rotter het wordt.”

I guess we'll fit in nicely there

What to take with me? All, except my telelenses, I guess, and soms other stuff.

However, I can shoot with one camera at a time so, taking two with me, dunno yet.

I'll travel by train, just 1/2 hour away .

For the ones coming by car: Spuiboulevard is easy to reach from the highway.

If for weather reasons the backup of October 24 is used you can also count me in

and as a venue Dordrecht got the most votes.

I suggest we meet between 10:30 and 11:00 in "Dordts Genoegen", Voorstraat 256, 3311 ET Dordrecht for coffee (and cake), that's nice and central for starting our walk. But if there are other ideas on that just post them here, these are just suggestions to get the discussion going.

We could follow "Rondje Dordt" or any of the other dedicated walking routes that can be found lower on the page (street art/hoogwater/leermonumenten/hofjes/bier en wijn.....) or combine some in our own route. Suggestions welcome

As far as I could determine from the other thread the participants so far are:

- @Jetsplace + Marcel
- Snegren
- Fred_S
- darosa
- rvangompel
- Harm vb
- Dopol
- Dirk
- der dickgg (guide?)
- pegelli


Pls. post below if you would get your name added or removed from the list and any other suggestions (starting time/meeting place/route to walk/equipment to take or anything else that's on your mind regarding this meeting).

What to carry, for the lensaholics among us always the most difficult question before a meeting

Certain is two bodies (A7ii and A7Rii) and my walk around zoom (Tamron 28-200 Di III RXD) but I need to add some fun lenses to that. Still time to think it all over......

Another consideration is that oktober 3 is week 39 for primes/zoom ends between 270 and 276 mm. So a 135 mm with a 2x converter would work but I would need an Olympus OM 2x converter which I don't have , does anybody else have one I could borrow for the day?

And it will be oktoberfest as well, which dictates at least one prime lens added to the bag.

Why is life so complicated?
