Snowdonia Photography workshops in Cwm Idwal: FAQ’s
What fitness levels are required?
Participants do require a reasonable level of fitness and mobility. The workshop involves walking approx 4 miles stopping at different viewpoints along the way on paths that are rocky and uneven and includes an ascent of approx 300ft to a viewpoint above Llyn Idwal. Due to the terrain unfortunately the course is unsuitable for those with limited mobility.
What you need to bring along on the day?
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 in Eryri Snowdonia and workshops can take place in very changeable conditions throughout the year so you need to be suitably prepared, just in case.
What is NOT included in the photography workshops in Snowdonia?
A packed lunch, accommodation, insurance. I recommend you consider obtaining suitable personal insurance to cover both your equipment and travel.
