This short trip is subject to official confirmation of the Spotter Day dates as 24th September and 1st October. Given that hotels and flights are scarce and costs are rising around these dates, these trips are at present theoretical... Hotels etc are also in short supply, and everything will move very fast once the official announcements are made. So, you can secure your space with a refundable deposit, which will then hold you a space on these space-limited trips, and you will be notified of announcements and changes and can make your final decision from there.
The Short & Sharp itinerary for this trip sees our group arriving the South of Portugal via Faro on Tuesday 30th September, before heading North to our hotel for the night.
The following day is an early start to get to the base for the start of the Spotters Day event and back to our hotel at the end of the action.
After this second night, its up breakfast and then a drive back to Faro and a flight home to the UK... Short, targeted and efficient and the purrrrrfect short & Sharp hit!
A quality trip with comfortable hotels and only as much travelling as is necessary to get the best access possible to the event. This trip has limited spaces available and is initially open to just six photographers - the first six to pay their refundable deposit will secure their space.
This trip is available on a land-only, twin sharing room basis for a cost of £590. Bookings can be reserved with a refundable £100 deposit and a flight quotation from your local airport is available on request.
