Hi,
I proposed a photowalk in Limerick- http://m.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=2056174747

But I'm nit very familiar with Limerick City. Can anyone propose a route for a photowalk (probably will be on a Satirday)

Thanks in advance,

Loads of nice spots around Limerick any particular theme in mind?
Historical would be the easiest also how far you willing to walk?

The City center is a handy short walk covering King Johns Castle - Treaty Stone and a few nice old graveyards and Churches along he way.

Or you could head out the Canal towards UL for some nice nature stuff.

Check out my Picasa Albums for some photos from around the City let me know if anything catches your eye and I can kelp you plan a route.

I am angling to take a picture of the Shannon from one of the bridges in Limerick. It hasn't happened yet.

I'm up for a walk if there's one being organised or we can agree a date. The river, castle, churches are probably the best option.

ooh if it's a saturday you definitely should start in the milk market. lots of ops there. maybe a quick look-see round cruises street, then down to the river - cross the bridge the turn right towards the castle. you can go in a circle from the castle down past the courthouse and back towards the ellen street/milk market area. that's what i'd do, then if time permitted out towards castletroy along the canal.

Nicholas St., Patrick St etc. make great shots too, drop me a PM if your doing it, and I'll try help plan a route during the week!

Hi,
thanks for all the suggestions.
There's already a date proposed- Saturday, 12th of March.
Thread here.

Can I request that people reply with any more route ideas to post to the above thread? I posted this thread here as a lot of people don't look at the Photo Expeditions threads at all.

Ireland are playing Wales at 5pm that day, hope that doesn't put anyone off the walk.

As for what type of photowalk- I'm open to anything really.
I like the idea of the Milk Market- I've heard a lot about it and I'm sure it would have loads of potential.

How long am I willing to walk for? I'm happy with starting in the morning (10am or so, is that too early?), stop for lunch somewhere and then continue.

Cheers,
Pa.

does this need to be on a Saturday. Could this not be on in the evening mid-week?

I'm travelling from Galway ( about 1 1/4 hours away) and a Saturday offers a full day of shooting and having daylight.

I've nothing against a midweek evening walk too, in fact I'd be interested in it (depending on what time) as well as the Saturday walk. If you want to organise one (not much to it) I'll hopefully attend. Tuesday or Wednesdays are best for me.

If it's starting of and ending in Milk Market then if anyone has any bags or stuff that they don't want to carry around on the shoot then they can leave it in my gallery (which is in the Milk Market). Might tag along myself if I'm around that day.

Hi,
For the photowalk I want to add the listing in photowalk.ie and just want to include a few photos of some of the places we'll be visiting. If anyone has any and you don't mind them being used can you contact me and send me link to the photo(s).

Below is a list of the proposed route, so any photos from any of these spots would be great.

If we start near the river there's free parking on Saturday, we could walk to the Milk market via William St or Cruises St, then down to the Huguenot cemetery off Michael St, over around the Hunt Museum and the potato market,, down behind city hall, up to the castle and the Bishop's house, the Toll house and Thomond, bridge, then onto the Treaty Stone and St. Munchins church. Down along the river, if time suit we could have some luch at the Curragower Bar.

We could walk wlak further out along the river to Barrington's pier, up to Kilrush Church off Nth Cir Rd, then along Westfields and back to the cars.

cheers,
Pa Dinneen.
