Bring the camera you already own.

A camera you own — Anything from the last fifteen years. The exercises are about light and decisions, and neither has a sensor requirement
A phone is fine — On the beginner morning, genuinely. About a third of that group brings one and they are not doing a lesser version of the day
A spare battery — The one thing worth buying. Cold halves them, and a dead camera at the good hour is the only equipment failure that actually happens
A tripod — Only for the night workshop, and one can be borrowed. Say so when you book rather than buying one for a single evening
What you don't need — A new lens, a filter set, a bag. Nothing here is a route to a shop and there is nothing to buy on the day
Gear you don't understand — Bring it, and the manual. Sorting out one confusing camera is a normal part of a morning and often the most useful part of it

The distance — In kilometres and in metres of ascent, on every workshop, before booking. Never "a short walk"
The start time — Landscape days begin before dawn, because that is when the light is. It is early and there is no version of this where it isn't
How long you stand still — Longer than you expect. Standing in one place in the cold is what gets people, far more than the walking does
The ground underfoot — Named honestly — path, track, open moor, or wet rock. If you'd rather not do the last one, say so; there is a version that doesn't
Facilities — Where they are, and where they run out. On the moor day there are none after the car park, and that is the whole answer
If any of that is a problem — Say so before booking. Most workshops have a version that works, and the harbour morning exists for exactly this reason

Flat grey light — Is the worst thing that can happen. Rain, mist and wind are all more interesting than a clear blue day
What actually cancels it — Danger. Lightning, ice on the approach, or a wind that makes standing near an edge stupid. Discomfort doesn't
If it's cancelled — Move to another date free, or take a refund. Decided the evening before wherever possible and never at the meeting point if it can be helped
If you cancel — Fourteen days for a full refund, seven for half, and after that the place passes to somebody else at no cost to you
Dress for standing still — Not for walking. That is the most useful sentence on this page and almost nobody is ever told it
What gets carried for you — Spare gloves, a flask, and a bothy bag on hill days. You aren't expected to bring those — they are there for the group

Six people, never more — Which is the whole reason it works. "All levels welcome" means nothing on a page; a group of six means somebody can be beside you
Different exercises — Somebody thirty years in and somebody who unboxed it last week get set different things to do in the same field. That is the job
You're told what to try next — Personally, by name, before you go home. Not a general lecture delivered at the middle of the group
You'll know the group size and the meeting point — In advance, in writing, along with a number that is answered on the day
Nobody is left behind — On any hill day, for any reason. That is written down because people ask it and are embarrassed to have to
Coming on your own — Most people do. There is no partner exercise and nobody gets paired off with a stranger
