There is lots of walking in Eskdale and Wasdale. There is also a small gauge railway running along Eskdale from Boot village to Ravenglass so it is very easy to move around even without a car. For information, one of the stations is opposite Stanley House b&b so if you are travelling by public transport this may be worth noting..

Locations include:

• Eskdale for mountains such as the Scafell and Coniston ranges, rivers, waterfalls up to 60 feet high, trees, old Roman Fort with walls around 6 feet high on all four sides. high mountain road pass
• Wasdale for mountains like Scafell Pike (highest in England) and Great Gable, Wast Water (deepest lake in England), waterfalls, trees, boat-house, lakeside reflections (not guaranteed!).
• Ravenglass and Eskmeals for the coast, beach, boats, river and estuary. High or low tide we will always get interesting photographs.
• Duddon and Dunnerdale Valleys for trees, waterfalls and rocks

In a normal day there will be a chance to photograph wide views of the Peak District from one of the many edges and hill tops, waterfalls, trees and rocks.

We visit locations along the length of Wharfedale and beyond. There will be opportunities to photograph limestone pavement, big views, rivers, waterfalls, trees and rocks as well as the striking Yorkshire villages and farm buildings in this part of the world.

The 1 day course will be in the historic town of Berwick and the coast to the north including St Abbs and Eyemouth. These are small fishing villages on the rocky coast, but with sandy areas too, such as Coldingham Bay where we will be dropped off and walk along the beach and cliff-tops on the coast to St Abbs. Berwick is a heavily fortified border town on the coast with high grass-topped walls, a river, old buildings, sand dunes, bridges, raised walk-ways along the walls and lots more.

The 2 day course will have 1 day around the castles and coast to the south around Bamburgh and Dunstanburgh and 1 day on Holy Island (Lindisfarne) which is near Berwick. There are sand dunes around Bamburgh as well as rock pools, so lots of scope for different settings for the spectacular castle, still in excellent condition. Dunstanburgh is an enormous ruin which looks best from a distance and we will use viewpoints to both north and south to make the best of the conditions. The coast here is rocky with spectacular round black rocks to the north and flat slabs to the south; great for pictures. Lindisfarne, also called Holy Island, has a castle, a ruined priory, upturned old boats that used to be used for houses, sand dunes, old lime kilns and a pretty village. We will spend the whole day here as the route onto the island crosses a causeway that is under a few feet of water at high tide.

There is a 1 day course as well as a consecutive 2 day course so if you want to combine them it makes a great 3 day course in spectacular countryside.

Locations will include Glen Coe with views to the 3 Sisters of Glen Coe and Aonach Eagach, Rannoch Moor and the mountains of Buachaille Etive Mor and Black Mount, Glen Etive, Loch Hourn, Glencoe Lochan and more.
