I went for my usual first day in the lakes walk, and the one bad thing to happen was that I lost my Benro magnesium/carbon fibre tripod legs - the only trouble with them being light was that I didn't notice them disappear from where they were strapped on to my rucksack. The weather was good and getting away later than I wanted actually paid dividends as the light was good.

The evening light was great and it was while taking these shots that I decided to get my tripod from my pack and found it missing. I had intended to catch the afterglow after the sun had gone. instead I took quite a few shots handheld and with the aid of my torch searched for my tripod legs retracing my steps, but no joy.
