You may find that accommodation and locations are sufficiently accessible for those with reduced mobility, even if it is a little more effort for everyone! I was impressed how well you managed in Malden.
Cheers,

Hi Jenny, thanks. I did have a long chat with Light & Land (when I ordered their nice dark cloth) but they are not geared up to people not able to walk miles using their own legs. I have just joined the Disabled Photographers Society so something may be possible through them, though I get the horrible feeling that I may be their only LF user!

I would really like to do one of Joe Cornish's courses.

There must be others in your situation Steve, so how about approaching him and asking if he could put on a course for disabled photographers? You could then put a message in the DPS forum saying you need X number of attendees to make a Joe Cornish course viable and hopefully a few would want to take up the opportunity. Can't harm to ask him.

Thanks Paul. That's such a relief.
I will look at his work when I have access to a computer again, on Tuesday, as my iPhone cannot display Flash.
