Itinerary
So here’s the outline itinerary for the Rugged West Cornwall photography tour. Obviously, everything we do during this tour we will be very weather-dependent, something that may require flexibility and a readiness to change plan to make the best of changing conditions.
So it is difficult to make a wholly fixed itinerary, but here is an outline of what we’ll be planning for the week. Please use it as a guide rather than an absolute certainty.
What is certain is that we’ll be starting in the afternoon of 16th November and finishing at about lunchtime on the 21st. Everything inbetween is flexible!
Sunday 16th November 2025: Make our way to west Cornwall, and meet up at the Marazion Hotel, in Marazion (https://marazionhotel.co.uk/). Participants will have the option of travelling with me in the minibus to Cornwall, meeting up in Exeter, making it possible to leave cars at home. After arrival, we should be able have some late afternoon and evening photography around views of St Michael’s Mount.
