New gear
Now the MSc has been passed – I will be able to get out and walk more. I have bought a small, rugged tripod, that can be attached to my day pack – I want to get some long exposure exposure shots, to steady the camera when it is windy and May be even some video.
The legs of the tripod look like they will survive some mud and water. The smartphone mount that came with it is very simple in design so it too should survive outdoor use.
The tripod also came with a Bluetooth camera shutter release and fittings to mount a camera or Go-Pro.
Out walking
Back to Blankney Walks – and an early morning walk and coffee. I set off before the sunrise.
After the coffee it is back to the car and reading for the viva next week.

I took the day off, dusted off the serious hiking boots and went for a long walk. Of course it rained and was very muddy. In the end I made my coffee in the car and watched “A Massive Hunt” but it was great not to have to write.
Also one of my favourite iPhone photo apps got a Christmas theme.

Helm Crag
I had to work on some quotes and documentation this morning, so I did not leave the timeshare until nearly midday, which meant it was about 1pm when I set out for Helm Crag. This meant that I did not have enough time to find the geocache that is near the summit but I did have time for some photographs.
