EXPERIENCE

Your Photo Tour Itinerary

9AM WELCOME
You have arrived in the Scottish highlands! Meet at the secret rendezvous at 9am for a quick briefing before making our way up into the hills at around 9:30am in search of the elusive Mountain Hare. The experience is very much tailored to you and the day will take shape depending on the conditions, time taken to find Hares/how active they are and the general consensus of the group.
LUNCHGRABBING A BITE
We plan to have a packed lunch on the hillside to maximise our time out in the field, however, if the group prefers, or if conditions deteriorate, we can opt to head to a local cafe (about a 40 minute drive away) to grab a bite to eat before continuing the afternoon session.
THE AFTERNOONEXPLORE THE AREA
Depending on what a Hare is doing, we can spend hours with an individual or alternatively move on to see what else the area has to offer. After a full-day of photography on the hill side we will make our descent and finish the session with a debrief at around 5pm.
