What a Joy

It was just beautiful, it has to be one of the most stunning places I have been to in the United Kingdom, just so beautiful.

Bow Fiddle Rock

I kept saying it during the vlogging process and I will not apologise for doing so, it is so peaceful, restful and yes beautiful to look at.

I did get very lucky with the elements as you will see in the photographs later this month, but here is one for you to enjoy in the meantime.

It was so overwhelming I forget what day I eventually arrived, well the drive was a total of about 16 hours or so?

I met the F7.1 team of jolly men on Friday I think in the Peak District and left them the following day after photographing a cloud inversion, my first by the way, now that was stunning!

The bright moon lit the way

I then set off on the final section of the trip North, another 8+ hours drive from the Peak District to Bow Fiddle Rock, and yes I did nearly give up on more than one occasion, especially when the skies opened up and the rain just poured down.

But I got there about 11pm, I went and had a little look, not venturing down as it was just far too dark and far too dangerous, after which I returned to the van, made my bed, set the alarm for 5am and went to bed and slept.

I awoke at 5, put on the kettle and made a nice hot cup of tea, it was cold and so needed. I then got my camera bag, tripods and wooly hat and walked down the slope that was now brightly illuminated by the very bright moon.

I set up and took a photo immediately, and the first image is that which I have added to this Blog.

I was so lucky, during my visit I had no clouds when I was taking photographs, no rain, red skies AND to top it off I had the moon rise behind Bow Fiddle Rock and within the fiddle gap itself, but that you will have to see on the Vlog once it is released.

Thank you for reading . . . . .
