Great Gable 09/06/2019

Having started the day hungover, the suggestion of a sunset hike up Great Gable within our group chat sounded very appealing, a chance to get out into the Lakes and get some fresh air.

I'd only been up Great Gable once previously for sunset, and on that occasion sea mist rolled in. Although it provided some fantastic light, it was short lived. Therefore, I was hoping for much better conditions this time around.

After the hike up we settled down to have some food before sunset, as the sun started to set and golden hour began we knew we were in for a treat. Before we knew it the sun was setting the sky alight with amazing golden tones, providing brilliant silhouette shots.

During this time I remember we were running around almost like children do when it starts snowing, but instead of screaming it's snowing we were running around shouting that we couldn't believe the light.

On the way down the head torches were put on for a slightly more brisk walk back down than we had on the way up. Only stopping to get a few more photos as the last of the light left, before continuing back to the cars and eventually getting back home for around 2am. Leaving a few hours to get some much needed sleep before work the next day.
