I'm generally an early riser, and at just before 6am I was up washed, dressed and the site was so still and calm, with the Sun coming up over the hills and starting to edge onto the site. I was almost awake anyway when a pheasant clucking around at the side of my tent woke me all the way about half five. If I was a meat eater thon bird would have been lunch
There was frost on most of the tents that early on but otherwise the site was very dry. Tents went up onto dry ground and we took them down in Sunshine. Can't ask for better really
I dug out my camera and took some photos of the site at that time. I'd been watching three roe deer in the field next to the tents, maybe 40 or 50 metres away from me, but they'd gone under the trees by the time I got my camera.
There were four gleds soaring later in the day, a couple of herons a wee bit up the hill and George says there's an Osprey nests nearby too. One of the lads saw a pine martin up near his hammock as well. It's a beautiful site
Needless to say, " did I mind to keep my camera with me ?" that'll be a no
I got a handful of photos the whole weekend. Really must do better next time. There were so many things to see, and see being done
Views from my tent first thing in the morning.
Camp all set up and calm
