There is something a little bit special about dawn in the summer. At this time of year it is around 04:00hrs and when the sun comes out there is a stillness. Of course this being 2024 dawn was accompanied by temperatures more suitable to early spring rather than ‘flaming June‘.

The reason for this early call was twofold: firstly it is refreshing to have a this hour or so to yourself but secondly I’m are the Harborough trail again. The district really is a strange dichotomy of farming to east and modernity in the west. Hopefully over the next few weeks I’ll be able to explore this further.
