No, no. My daughter Verity is a photographer! I did scramble quite nimbly, though!

And here’s me thinking that you set the self-timer before scurrying nimbly up that tree in Windermere.

Whenever I’ve tried to do that I’ve missed myself out of the picture completely! So I think you did pretty well!

Hi Jo. Now you come to mention it, that third shot does look like a forest of spears. I used a time-honoured photographic technique. I set the timer, plonked the camera on a tussock, and ran to get on the photo. I’m sure I didn’t intend it to come out all arty farty like it has.
Cheers, Alen

A real mellow, vintage feel to them. How was the third shot taken? It would look like a forest of spears or pikes, if it wasn’t for that one head of grass! I can almost feel the heat in the last photo – it’s rare to have days like that on the tops and the sunburn can be excruciating!

Hi Chris. There were some choice words to go with the grunts and groans if I remember correctly.
Cheers, Alen

I can well imagine the grunt and groan of the climb on a day like that. And the exultation on reaching the top.

Thanks for the timely reminder ????
