The benefits for me were many, but in particular, the oppurtunity to work intensively on composition in company of other photographers, and the 'off camera' aspects of landscape photography such as location choice, timing of visits to particular locations and how to plan ahead and develop a 'hit list' of locations and images to maximise your oppurtunities for really special images.

Looks like you had a very good experience there. Points that you have mentioned above like timing of visits and hit list are often overlooked by many ordinary photographers.
It is nice that you got know the approach and insight of a professional photographer.
If my memory serves right, Bryan Peterson in one of his books lays huge emphasis on being at the right place at the right time.
I think the effort that one puts in on peripheral/preparatory work around a photo shoot is as important as the shoot itself.
