Hi Martyn,

I share your feelings about a dozen people rumbling around in the woods.
I have never taken part in a recording workshop and have no idea if
there is a noise etiquette in the field.
I can imagine that if the area is big enough and maybe the recording
times a arranged then the results should be OK.

This leads me to another topic I have been thinking about for some
time......I will start a new thread.
