Details: After meeting outside the boathouse, we'll board the Welcome Ferry passenger boat for a short trip along Overy Creek to Scolt Head Island. The boat lands at the eastern end of the island (Norton Hill/dunes), once there we'll have 2 hours to explore and photograph the beautiful national nature reserve - beach, dunes, sea, grasses and flora, crystal clear seas, birdlife and Norfolk's famous big skies. Our visit has been planned to coincide with high tide and the Welcome Ferry running times. The last boat back to Burnham Overy Staithe is at 12 noon.

The walk is aimed primarily at beginner and hobbyist photographers but is open to everyone who loves taking photos and being outdoors. Any camera type is fine (smartphones included) - please don't worry if you're new to photography, walks aren't a competition and all abilities are welcome. Group walks aren't intended to be in depth/technical tuition sessions but an opportunity for like minded folk to get together to practice taking photographs. If you have any questions before booking your place, please just drop me an email.
