A late finish to last evening (midnight) then up again at 3.00am - quick bit of breakfast, then we were on the road by 3.30am. Reason? Weather forecast for this part of the world was not good at all - but over in the Lakes, bright sun was predicted - so Guy felt there was a good chance of some misty sunrise shots.
Arrived in the Lakes at 5.00am - and had to dash down to the lake and do some very fast shutter work to catch the rising sun - and mist!

Then it was off for reflection-type shots. Finally - we stopped for a "proper" breakfast in Ambleside, at a lovely Restaurant called The Glassworks. Replenished, we then started to slowly wend our way back towards the Yorkshire Dales. Stopped enroute once again to snap some lovely back-lit trees in a field of sheep, then we "did" the classic boathouse shot on Ullswater.

This gave Guy a chance to have a half hour catnap (he is doing all the driving location finding - and Grouse spotting!)
Finally, arrived back near our base and had another go at Grouse shooting (with the cameras, of course!) Some of the birds were very shy - but others were more tolerant.

Tea and crumpets at 7.00pm. Totally exhausted - but what a good day!
