I looked out quite early and realised it was not a day for being in the valley of the river Dart. In spring and autumn mist will often remain in the valley for quite some time. However there was the promise of some sun to come.

Looking for some “good dawn” images I headed into the Bay for 6:30 am with dawn being at 7:15 am. By the time I looked into the Bay I could see that I was not going to get a “clear” sunrise of any sort; the lights in the distance are [...]
Having caught up with the backlog of the holiday snaps I started working on the relatively small number I’ve taken since I’ve been back and wondering about my next post. These are not all taken on the same day but I realised that on a number of days I’d taken [...]
After around 3000 miles of fairly trouble free motoring the car had a warning light on and was not running at all well and we were wondering if we would make it back up to the ferry without help. We also had some of the worst weather we [...] The weather had not been that good for a few days so despite it looking a little grey and rather thundery I decided I had to get out. It looked a little brighter when I got to Goodrington beach. It was quite warm and rather windy – the beach [...] On a Wednesday night I will often walk with friends on Dartmoor however it has rained quite a lot recently so we decided to take a shorter walk in the Bay. This shows the storm approaching.

Given the fact that Summer time will start soon making dawn earlier I thought I’d try and catch one before having to get out of bed very early. The forecast was for clear skies (right this time) but I’d missed the forecasted temperatures.
It was pretty close [...] Another of those days when I set out in hope of a walk. This time I had not driven far before I realised I was unlikely to get much of a walk in and I planned to be back for the afternoon to watch the rugby so my time was a bit limited. [...] I had not been out on the moors for far too long and the forecast was for some sun (how often have I worked on the basis of the weather forecast…). I headed for Two Bridges planning to walk up the east bank of the West Dart walking on the ridge [...] |
