dawn walk

Antony woke me up early with a cup of tea. "Fancy a dawn walk?" Erm no.

Sensing my hesitation Antony goes for the jugular "You might be able to get a really good blip at dawn".

He looked somewhat surprised when I turned up downstairs ready and raring to go. I had visions of brilliant dawn light, arctic hares, stunning landscapes and a gentle meander up towards bleaklow.

Hours later I asked Antony when the light might improve. "It probably won't, too much cloud cover". Oh.

"Well where could we spot some arctic hares?"

"No chance with the ice." Oh.

"Well how much longer will this walk take?"

"Not long, just a couple of hours, maybe three." Oh.

"Can we go home?"
