The Old Forge (Thursday 1st December 2016)

On my way to the car I noticed that the cotoneaster tree that I blipped one month ago was covered in frost. I thought it would make a quick blip, but the problem was that the berries were higher than I could reach, even if I raised the camera above my head. I grabbed a folding chair to stand on but discovered I couldn't maintain my balance when I put the viewfinder to my eye and the chair collapsed under me. I dragged a step-ladder out and after quite a while managed to work out how to put it up and then find some level ground nearby to stand it on. Finally, I clambered up the steps as far as I dared before my vertigo got too bad and fired a couple of shots. Da dah!
