Another day of hunting for Dutch egg whisks in the wilds of Spadeadam. A VERY productive day with some fantastic photo opportunities of Apaches in daytime! A great day out, and brilliant to have a good group of us there enjoying the offerings and engaging in the usual banter and pleasantries!
Cheers
Dylan

Some excellent shots there. Is it normally that busy up there or did you just get lucky?

A great selection of phots there.
On the Apache ones, I can see one sheep saying to another, "Don't bother running, you'll only die tired"

Never normally this busy these days unfortunately. Only due to the Dutch ex currently happening so making the most of it!

Really nice set, those first Apache shots are great with such good and varied backgrounds typical of Spadeadam.
