The previous evening I had felt really dizzy while out photographing the sunset and was still feeling a little ropey the next day. We were in such a wonderful place however that we had to look around the Nant-y-Moch reservoir, fringed by the Cambrian Mountains. We drove north after this, passing Ynys Hir bird reserve and the Osprey Centre which Alan visited while I stayed in the van.I realised that I must have some sort of inner ear infection and when we stopped at Aderdovey Alan made an appointment for me to see a local GP who examined me, agreed with my diagnosis and gave me a prescription for tablets. They did not start working immediately and I found that everytime I tried to move I was ill. The next morning we drove into Trefor, where we had booked a cottage for a week, with a bowl propped in front of me - how nice.

The second day in the Dark Peak Alan had a cycle race. So once he had gone, I set out on a walk. It was a dry day but there were a lot of cumulus clouds adding some interest to the sky. I had missed the sunrise (it was June!). The track led out of the farm yard,  over a stream and up on to the moorland and the path to Kinder Reservoir. When I had just got on to the path I was assailed by two curlews who must have had a nest nearby and were flying over me crying. Some pictures of the reservoir and surroundings.
