Day Two of my short trip up to The Lake District. My plan for today was twofold. Firstly I was going to spend about an hour in the morning capturing a couple of compositions I’d spotted on my stroll after arriving in Tover near Coniston. Secondly I intended to go for a mountain bike ride over to Grizedale Forest on the east side of Coniston Water from about 1100 for the rest of the day. It didn’t work out that way. I became immersed in the photography and after bagging the two compositions I’d set out for I went a bit further. And a bit further, and a bit further. You get what I mean. I stayed out for the rest of the day exploring the area known as Tover Commons. It’s an area that I had intended to check out this week having recently watched a YouTube video by photographer Henry Turner in this area. Indeed, I ended up following the exact route he took, plus a couple of extra miles, ending at Kelly Hall Tarn for sunset. The whole walk was just under eight miles and I was exhausted by the time I got back to my campervan around 1730. I’ll sleep well tonight! I was lucky to bump into photographer Mark Banks at Kelly Hall Tarn and had a pleasant conversation with him. He was leading a photography workshop with a group of people. It’s a popular location, sadly the sunset never really materialised but that’s OK, it was just wonderful to be out in such a beautiful location. Maybe I’ll go mountain biking tomorrow….? Here’s an iPhone pic grabbed at Kelly Hall Tarn showing one of the compositions I was trying to capture.
