Description
This is a Member-Led Event, with a maximum of 8 participants, guided by Geraint Jones LRPS, who knows the area well.
The trip will give participants the opportunity to discover and to photograph various locations around the Vale of Llangollen beginning with the Horseshoe Falls and the church of Llantysilio. If the weather is kind, we will relocate to a high level road above the town of Llangollen and walk up to the ruins of the 13th century Castell Dinas Brân, which will afford us beautiful views up and down the valley of the River Dee and the limestone escarpment of the Eglwyseg. Our final location will be at the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, a World Heritage Site which takes the Llangollen Canal high above the river. If the weather is inclement a more sheltered location to photograph is the tree lined canal towpath and the town of Llangollen.
Meet: Horseshoe Falls (sometimes called Llantysilio Green) Car Park, approximately a mile west from Llangollen town, at 09:30.
Finish is around 16:00
If travelling by train, Ruabon is the nearest mainline railway station - The leader can give participants a lift from/to the station at the end.
Parking: is £3 per day, but free for National Trust members.
Toilets: available at the meeting point and at the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct (our final location). There are no other facilities.
Terrain: walking includes rocky and grass covered footpaths, and is not suitable for those with limited mobility.
Subject to the weather, we may travel by car (a short distance) and walk up a short but steep footpath to Castell Dinas Brân. For those not wishing the ascent, there are other photo opportunities near to where we will be parking.
What to wear: appropriate footwear and warm waterproof clothes inc. hat / gloves.
Food & drink: please bring a packed lunch / hot drink. The visit will conclude at the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct and the Chapel Café may be open (winter opening hours are not known).
What to bring: tripods and filters will help if wanting to take images of the waterfalls etc.
Note: Participants should be prepared for a risk of Ticks.
Bad weather plan: if the weather is bad then the tree lined canal towpath and the town of Llangollen with its heritage railway will give us plenty of photo opportunities. The event would be postponed if a dangerous high wind.
Advice: This is a member-lead event, simply to introduce you to a location, with no professional guidance. The leader is also willing to offer general technical support and advice to inexperienced photographers.
Terms for RPS Landscape Group Events:
Carbon offsets
Tickets for events that involve travelling include a £2 carbon offset charge that will be paid to a carefully researched and selected offsetting partner.
Cancellation by You:
If you wish to cancel your booking PLEASE let the event leader / organiser know with as much notice as possible. If nothing else, this can avoid them delaying the start of the event while they wait for you.
If you have paid for an event, please note that this fee/ticket price is non-refundable unless we are able to sell your place to somebody else. You are welcome to sell your place yourself but, again, PLEASE notify the event leader / organiser in advance of any change.
Cancellation by us:
Event leaders are asked to make plans for alternative activities or locations in the case of poor weather and, in most cases, events will proceed despite poor weather unless, in the view of the event leader, the weather will lead to unacceptable safety risks or very little chance of successful photography. It is inevitable, however, that occasionally an event will be cancelled for this or another reason beyond the RPS’s control.
Occasionally an event may also be cancelled owing to lack of bookings. So if you wish to attend an event, don’t leave it till the last minute to book as it may be too late.
If an event is cancelled we will give you as much notice as we are able and any payment by you to the RPS in respect of the event offered as a full refund. In the case of events cancelled because of lack of interest we will aim to give at least three weeks’ notice wherever possible.
Please note we are NOT able to refund any associated or consequential costs including but not limited to travel, accommodation, insurance premium or other costs incurred by you in order to attend the event.
Responsibility:
You are responsible for your own health and safety and must appraise your own strength, fitness and mobility; and be prepared for the terrain, changing weather conditions etc. The event leader is NOT responsible for your safety, welfare or attendant medical conditions. Strictly the event leader is there to introduce you to a location.
You are responsible for your equipment etc at all times; use suitable bags for carrying it.
Car-sharing lifts with fellow participants, or the event leader, is at your own risk. Those offering car-sharing lifts may only do so provided that they have suitable insurance cover.
Liability for any accident, injury, medical condition, loss or damage to property, inappropriate behaviour, dress, equipment and third party liability is accepted by you when signing up for the event. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Royal Photographic Society from all claims of whatsoever nature.
Insurance:
You are advised to consider having insurance to cover: event cancellation by you or by us, accident, medical, personal equipment and public liability.
In particular you should also consider, in the case of high cost events, the likelihood and consequences of you having to cancel or not attend at the last minute because of accident, medical or other unforeseeable circumstances.

Your personal details (name, telephone number and email address) will be provided to the leader of the event or workshop you have booked in order to enable them to:
- send you joining instructions for the event
