Hi, thanks for the welcome.

I am in mid Cheshire, so the Lake District, the Peak District and Wales are all not too far for a quick trip over a weekend. Plus many National Trust properties to visit.

I am aware that there will be a lot to learn, but that is where the fun lies 

Thanks for the advice.

Unfortunately, the the lenses mentioned are way beyond my budget at the moment, so for the time being, I will stick with the 18-55

I have pre-ordered David Busch's D3500 book, and also Scott Kelby's Landscape book also due for release in Jan. and I have also purchased the first 2 books  from the series.

I have seen many chargers for sale, most come with 2 batteries and cost half the price of an original Nikon battery, so was not sure of the quality, so just wondered if there is a trusted one that others use.

I will also look at getting a tripod. Any pointers on what I should be looking for with a tripod?

Once again thanks for the advice.
