BRIGHTON for the day!
A day out in Brighton with a wide range of opportunities to grab good images. Seascapes, wildlife, street, architecture…. and much more
On Saturday 16th May we will be holding our annual photowalk in Brighton. We will be meeting at Brighton train station at midday.
Trains are available as follows
Swanwick – 10:08am arriving in Brighton at 11:35am or 10:38am arriving in Brighton at 12:05pm. Return tickets with a senior railcard start at under £15.
Fareham – The same train can be picked up at Fareham at 10:14am or 10:44am
What to expect from the day: Brighton offers different architecture, the lanes and a seafront location with lots to pho-tograph. There will also be plenty of places to pick up refreshments. Expect lots of walking so we would suggest travel-ling light with your comfiest walking shoes. We would also recommend using the LHSCC WhatsApp where we will post locations during the day to ensure no one gets lost. Below gives you some idea of what to expect.
