Useful information
This photography workshop is intended for absolute beginners with the group size being limited to eight to allow Jason and David to devote ample time throughout the day to every participant.
It's likely to be on the chilly side, despite the onset of spring. Be sure to wear warm and windproof clothing, and bring waterproofs just in case. You will also need sturdy and comfortable and waterproof walking shoes or wellies. Although the coastline near Whitley Bay is relatively flat, a reasonable degree of fitness and mobility is recommended.
