Tim dog doing his 'Terminator' impression! Not really sure where the 'red eye' came from as I didn't use the flash for this one?

I did use the flash for this shot though, couldn't get the camera to focus on Tim without it, as it was still pretty dark

Again I used the flash on the cascades in Angletarn Beck, quite a different effect to my slow motion water shots?

I apologise for the image quality on some of these early shots, as I had to use a faster setting than normal on the camera to compensate for the poor lighting conditions, which has caused 'noise' in the photos

Looking back as I started the climb up towards Boredale Hause

Zooming in on the cloud coming down Caiston Glen, I was surprised at how quickly the weather was changing

The fells to the north were still looked to be clear of cloud, so I might still get the shots I wanted

The first signs of red in the sky, not usually a good sign on a morning

It was starting to look like the weather was going to be kind to me today

The first rays of the morning sun on the Eastern Fells

Zooming in, Striding Edge and Catstycam just catching the first golden rays of the rising sun

so were Fairfield and St Sunday Crag

as well as the Dodds across Ullswater

Well this was as good as it got, just after this shot the sun disappeared behind the blanket of cloud

It still looked nice and clear over further east on the Pennines

Cloud forming on the top of Place Fell

Looking down onto Brothers Water from the top of Dubhow Beck

The Deepdale valley with the majestic Fairfield at it's head, which is covered in cloud today

The first glimpse of Angle Tarn

Looking back towards Fairfield, that bank of cloud seemed to be growing all the time

Even the breeze had picked up so the chance of some nice reflection shots had gone as well!

Looking towards Helvellyn from Angle Tarn, even on a dull day it's still a great view

Zooming in ....

A similar shot as I climbed up away from the tarn

Gray Crag as I approached Satura Crag

Looking down into Bannerdale

One of the several small herds of Red deer that I saw around Satura Crag

One of my favourite views, the Fairfield to Helvellyn ridge from Satura Crag

Hayeswater surrounded by High Street and Gray Crag

I decided to cut the walk short and head down to Hayeswater, didn't fancy walking round High Street and Gray Crag in all that mist

Hayeswater Reservoir, Penrith's water supply!

I've been wanting to do this shot for a while, today was the first time I'd remembered to take the tripod with me!

As I descended from Hayeswater the cloud base really started to drop, was glad I'd come down now

Tim leading the way back down to Hartsop village

Looking along Threshthwaite Mouth Glen

and back towards Gray Crag, still covered in cloud

Heading back through Hartsop village

By the time I got back to the car park the cloud looked to be starting to break a bit

So I had a wander along to Brothers Water in the hope of a few nice shots

But I think the cloud was teasing me, there were huge banks of it rolling across the fells

It did make for some nice moody shots though, so I couldn't really complain too much!
