A few pictures since Saturday, we have been in lockdown since 1pm Sunday local time now 1pm Friday atm thanks to NSW’s/ Sydney cockup. So I have a funny feeling I might get this finished by Friday, providing I don’t have stuff ups with the rigging that I started late this afternoon.
The track through the valley with those fells on your left leads up the River Dash to the dramatic little waterfall known as Whitewater Dash, and then to Skiddaw House. I know the route quite well (you can see some of my walks up it on other albums) and it was nice to recognise the fells in question from a new viewpoint.

My car is in the garage once again (lost count of the time its been there). I had a hire car delivered to the house, it arrived at 8:30pm! It was too dark to check it out so I just took the keys and signed the paperwork. When I went out the car that had been delivered was a Skoda Octavia but the paperwork said it should have been a Vauxhall Astra. When I got in it there was a disgusting smell of sick and sour milk. I got it changed the morning after!

"I flamingoed up." "What's that?" "It's like a cockup, only bigger." Pink flamingos hanging out near the zoo entrance.
Hello, and welcome, to the latest in my on-going series: Capital Cockups.
If you look carefully at this photo you can see that the street name carver of yesteryear clearly got his cuneiforms in a conundrum!
He actually started the 'P' and the 'L' of 'place' one letter too far over to the left. And putting stone back into the grooves obviously wasn't his strong point.
The 'Dauphine' (notice the archaic 'V' for our 'u') is pretty grungy too, but i'll put that down to general wear and tear, and the odd revolution or two. Carve on, cavalier!

Due to a cockup, traffic was allowed onto the bridge right into the path of the protest. Those who could did a u-turn over the central pavement, with many painful scraping sounds.
The impressive summit cairn on Great Cockup. This does mark the highest point of the fell, but a much more impressive cairn exists to the west of here marking a spot with much better views (apparently - it looked exactly the same in the mist).

If you go up Longlands Fell, on the left, you can wander the tops of all the others without much difficulty. First time I went up there I ticked off 4 or 5 Wainwrights in one go. The pointy one is Knott, which is the highest. I think I need to do that group on my next trip with Kiri.
The collection of fells behind Skiddaw are not often frequented and would probably make a fine walk in solitude if you chose the right day.

"If you let Tom take a picture of you, it'll be on the Internet, on Flickr, you know!" Steve wasn't wrong. Duncan, you're now on Flickr (but hey, you were anyway). I really love this picture, despite the whole high-ISO cockup (wherein I left the camera at 1600 and never checked it). Won't be doing that again in a hurry.
It doesn't look much in this shot, but the tower on Probus church is the tallest in Cornwall at a lofty 129 feet high. You have to wonder if they intended it to be a nice round 130 feet, but someone made a cockup with the measuring.

Completely forgot I was still in Tv mode for this shot so it was taken as fill flash wide open. Quite liked the result though on this male wolf spider in an old camelia flower
If you look at the EXIF data you'll see that this was accidentally taken at 1/200s, 100ISO, f32 - and as such came out black. But I thought I'd see what would happen if I pushed the exposure and brightness up and the contrast down. This is what scares me about RAW images.
The descent from Meal Fell down into the pass of Trusmadoor and then the height lost plus some more needs to be made up on the climb to Great Cockup.
Two of the build your own circuit projects from maplin. You get the components and board, then do the soldering. Good fun. On the right is a variable strobe whilst on the left is a clapper on/off system.
