I run regular walks and workshops across the Wirral. From my most popular routes such as Hilbre Island and New Brighton Lighthouse to unique locations such as Port Sunlight and Bidston Windmill, there’s something for everyone.

My walks are all group walks of mixed ability with group sizes of 4-10 in most instances. All walks are planned to make the most of available lighting conditions and the scenery we explore. 

All of these workshops take about 2/3 hours and are suitable for all skill levels and camera equipment including camera phones. Walks advertised as Free/Gratuity are offered for no upfront fee, just book and head out with us as we explore this beautiful location together, then as we return to the start simply give whatever you feel the workshop was worth to you in the form of a tip.

• What is the maximum number of people in a group – I limit bookings to 12 people per walk, though i sometimes take a few more dependant on location. If a walk is listed as fully booked please send me a message using the live chat below and I’ll et you know if there is any space left.
• Is there a minumum number of people needed for a wlk to take place? – Yes, it depends on the location but in most cases I only run a walk if I have 3/4 or more bookings for a route.
• How far are the walks? – The longest route I run is about 4.5miles out to Hilbre Island. Other routes are about 2miles but please check with each route information page for confirmation
• You run sunset walks, will we have to walk in the dark? – the hour after Sunset is often called “blue hour” when the light fades and some of the most dramatic skies occur. With the exception of my Hilbre Sunset walks though, we will usually be fininshed long before it actually goes dark.
• Some of your walks are along the coast, What about the tide? – All my walks are planned long in advance to ensure tidal conditions are suitable for the times/locations we are walking. I run these walks year round taking hundreds of people to tidal locations such as Hilbre island ensuring I know the latest tidal conditions and safest routes and only running the walks when it is safe to do so.
• What if it’s raining, will the walk still go ahead? – I monitor the weather forecast in the run up to every walk and will cancel if the weather is not suitable, please keep an eye on your email inbox for weather updates the day before your walk. If light rain is forecast then come down in suitable clothing, I will run the walks as long as everyone wants to head out and as long as it’s safe to do so.
• How much is a suitable tip? – This is completely up to you but please consider the time it takes to organise and run these walks before hand as well as the knowledge and experience you gain during the event. As a guide most people tend to give between £10-£15pp.
• Are dogs allowed on the walks? – Yes, well behaved dogs are welcome but they may need to be kept on a lead especially on coastal walks around sea birds.

By booking and attending a Neon Light Photography Walk you signal that you agree to the following terms and conditions:

My walks are adult only, all participants must be over the age of 18 to take part.

Although I will be leading the route we walk, you are responsible for your own safety and equipment for the duration of the route. I cannot be held responsible for any loss or damage of equipment or injury to self.

To ensure safety, if adverse weather conditions are forecast the walk may need to be cancelled/postponed. This will be detailed by email so please check before heading down to the start location.

Along with checking weather conditions before the day, I will also review conditions throughout the walk and may decide to change the route if the weather/tide requires it. There are some routes that are not safe in some conditions and so I cannot guarantee visiting any requested location.

Though offered for Free, cancellations at short notice are very difficult to fill, therefore if cancelling within 5 days of the walk / workshop please can I ask you to consider a £5pp donation to cover my costs, this is voluntary but encouraged.

Covid-19 Restrictions – For the safety of all attendees, expecially those with pre-existing health conditions, I ask that you do not attend a walk or workshop if you have tested positive for COVID19 within 5 days of the walk.
