Carnsore Point-A Paul Freeney PhotoWalk-July 17
5th Paul Freeney Photowalk, Carnsore, Wexford, Saturday July 17th 11am.
It has finally arrived, the 5th Photowalk and it is the first outside Dublin so we look forward to meeting our country cousins and us Dubliners will try to be on our best behaviour!
First thing is first and I apologise to regulars who have to read this stuff over and over. Paul Freeney Photowalks are different; the word Photowalk is probably the wrong word to use because we welcome everybody, walkers, nature lovers, young, old, children and even dogs. If you can go the distance you are welcome and please do not think you have to bring a camera.
Why do we welcome non-photographers? Because we are nice people and enjoy good company! But also because photographers have friends and it is nice for photographers to bring their friends and talk to people who are not photographers. Photography is an often solitary experience so it is good for us to socialise.
Points to note, if you would like to come:
Location of Photowalk: Carnsore Point. Carnsore Point is the most south easterly tip of Ireland, it is wild in its beauty and more than just photogenic.
Date & Time of Walk: Saturday 17th July 2010 at 11am
Meeting Point: Beach Car Park opposite Carne Beach Caravan Park at Carne, County Wexford. The walk is not affiliated in any way with the Caravan Park so if you don’t want a blank stare do not contact them. The Caravan Park does have facilities for Camping, Camper Vans and towing Caravans if you want to stay over: www.carnebeach.com . Co-ordinates for the meeting point are: 52.11.55N 6.21.01W
The Route: See this posting for the route of the walk and what you will see: www.flickr.com/photos/sebfotos/4692984002/in/photostream/
Safety: We ask that everybody makes the biggest effort to look after themselves and keep an eye on others. There are some (not high) cliff walk sections to this walk so do be careful. The beach at Carnsore is ferocious, if you should go too near the edge you will be taken by the sea and I guarantee you will not come back out alive!
Distance & Duration: I have measured the walk on Google Earth and it is a little over 4.8 miles. I can only estimate how long the PhotoWalk will take and I think it will be at least three hours if not four so I do suggest that everybody bring some water and food to keep the energy levels up.
After: The Walk will end at the Meeting Point and conveniently there is a bar there called the Lighthouse, there is also a shop and a chip shop.
Alas we can not predict the weather so please bring appropriate clothing for the conditions and wear sunscreen as required.
Registration: Please register your interest in this Photowalk by sending me an email to paul@paulfreeney.com, responding here in the comments and by hitting the ‘Join Event’ button on this page. If you have already joined and need to leave, just press the button again!
I look forward to meeting everybody and having yet another successful and enjoyable walk, bring a friend.

Paul, I can only assume you mean the 5th Photowalk you’ve led, because there’s been plenty of photowalks outside Dublin.

Of course, Sean, it is the 5th Paul Freeney Photowalk and the first Paul Freeney Photowalk outside the County of Dublin.
Everyone of them has been enjoyable, enlightening and friendly, not to mention the locations are getting better and more challenging to plan each time.
Will we have the pleasure of your company on the day ?

Hi everybody, just in case you are reading this and thinking there are only three or four people attending this event, you could not be further from the truth. The attendance is not just made up from this blog, there are dozens confirmed to attend already and growing all the time…
Excitement is growing, can’t wait to meet everyone.

A great one to start with Markham, see you at the start, remember to bring some food and raingear or sunscreen (as appropriate) and a sense of humour will not be wasted either.

If anyone happens to be within a three or four mile radius of Coolock at half past twelve tomorrow afternoon (Tuesday), you can have the dubious pleasure of listening to me being interviewed about the photowalk live on Near90fm radio station.

Thanks to every single one of the forty lovely people (and two dogs) who turned out in perfect weather conditions (we heard it was raining in Dublin) and joined me for a most enjoyable and friendly Photowalk yesterday.
It was a pleasure to meet every one of You and I hope You all enjoyed it as much as I did.
Along the way an ailing rabbit was euthanised, at least four of us got whacked by an electric fence, and all of us managed to avoid being chased by a bull who it seems just wasn’t interested.
Thanks again and I hope we all meet again.
