Question 10

What fitness level is required to attend?

Darragh · Accepted Answer

The fitness levels on our workshops are varied, each trip will have its own detailed fitness level description. About 80% of our trips both in Ireland and internationally will suit any fitness level. The other 20% of trips may suit a good level of fitness.

If you book a trip needing a good level of fitness 3-12 months in advance and feel you may not be fit enough, use the time between booking the trip and when the trip commences to build up fitness levels.

Some trips will involve...

Walking for long periods on uneven ground
Walking on wet and slippery surfaces
Crossing small streams
Early starts and late nights

If you book a trip needing a good level of fitness 3-12 months in advance and feel you may not be fit enough, use the time between booking the trip and when the trip commences to build up fitness levels.

Question 11

What happens if the weather is bad?

Darragh · Accepted Answer

We cant control the weather, what we can do is plan as efficiently as possible while on a trip, bad weather can often bring the best conditions.

A saying I love is "When it rains, look for rainbows, when its dark, look for stars"

We pride ourselves on being at the right place at the right time, if there is light to be got, WE WILL GET IT!

Sometimes the weather can be too bad to even wait around to get a shot, which can easily be caused by an area of low pressure, in this case we will use our time to do some post processing of images we may already have got on the trip.

Question 12

Darragh · Accepted Answer

We will never share your information with anyone. We won't spam you, we have a newsletter which we may send out 1-3 times a month, you can opt out of this at any time. We do not have access to your credit card information.
