• What fitness levels are required to attend the Snowdonia workshop in Cwm Idwal?

  The one day Anglesey photography workshop involves walking approx 4.5 miles, requiring a reasonable level of fitness. We'll be walking on soft sands, uneven paths and through forestry with uneven and short but occasionally steep inclines so participants would need a certain level of mobility. Unfortunately this workshop isn't suitable for people with limited mobility.

  Essential items include: Camera (with aperture/shutter/manual controls) and a choice of lenses, a packed lunch/snacks and drinks, warm/waterproof clothing and good footwear.

  Optional items include: Filters, your camera user manual, a tripod

• What happens in bad weather?

  I monitor weather forecasts and if conditions are predicted to be completely unsuitable, to ensure both your safety and enjoyment of the day, it may be necessary to cancel a workshop. I will endeavour to provide at least 24hrs notice, although this cannot always be guaranteed; you will be offered either a full refund or a place on a future course. Weather can be unpredictable all year round on the Isle of Anglesey and workshops can take place in very changeable conditions so you need to be suitably prepared, just in case.

• What is NOT included in the Anglesey photography workshops?

  A packed lunch, accommodation, insurance. I recommend you consider obtaining suitable personal insurance to cover both your equipment and travel.
