Thread: The week that was roar 2023.....

Now you may remember Thursday was meant to be my last day on the block it was only my Dad, Hamish and I as Ant had prior engagements, we couldn't get out Thursday afternoon as i had an appointment with my eldest son i had to keep.
I spoke to the lease holder and asked if we could possibly have 1 more day.....he obliged and i let Ant and Hamish know we were on for pre-dawn adventures and 1 last crack at a roaring red stag

The alarm buzzed at 4am, not that i could sleep soon enough the lads arrived, thermus of hot coffee in hand we trundled up in the darkness to our chosen destination parked the trucks and proceeded a short sharp 15 minute walk up hill to sit on a vantage point that would give us opportunities in all directions (for the last day i wanted to have all options available no matter the wind direction) the weather was mild and clear as we sat waiting for sunrise the still darkness interrupted by the occasional distant roar. We didn't know it yet but today would also be filled with excitement, disappointment and relief


waiting in the pre dawn stillness full of anticipation
