After A Good Breakfast We Drove To Crohy Head . The Journey Is Approximately One Hour During Which People Can Become Well Acquainted. As Tour Leaders We Were Able To Learn About Everyones Level Of Ability And Fitness. The Weather Conditions Were Mild At Crohy Head With No Wind Consequently Everyone Had An Easy Introduction To The Tour. The Participants Loved The Spectacular Sea Arch And We Spent Some 2 Hours At This Location. They Also Enjoyed The View From The Cliff Tops. We Travelled Another Mile Along Crohy Head To See More Of The Views And Take Some More Photographs. Soon It Was Time To Go To Nancys Bar For A Seafood Lunch.
Before Eating Some Of Our Photo Workshop Members Photographed The Old Buildings In Ardara Village. Everyone Enjoyed The Seafood In Nancy’s And Finally We Left For Assaranca Waterfall. The Cars Arrived At The Waterfall 15 Minutes Later . The Conditions Were Ideal For Long Exposure Photography. The Photo Workshop Leaders Helped Everyone Improve Their Long Exposure Skills. The Leaders Also Carried Spare Filters To Help Out When needed. . As A result We Spent 2 Hours At The Waterfall. Furthermore It Was 5pm and time to Go Back To Dunfanaghy.

We Meet again At The Rusty Oven For Pizza And A Few Drinks. Everyone Is Too Tired To Go Out For Sunset So We Have Another Drink And Leave For Bed. The Photo Workshop Leaders Arrange To Meet Everyone At 8am The Next Morning.
