Super fine day weather wise, but as usual with my visits to Marsh Lane the disaster reared its head and showed itself in the form of yet another flat battery in the camera, despite being fully charged the day before!
Soon discovered that it was my own fault for leaving the camera switched on in the bag since leaving Summer Leys Saturday afternoon.. Pratt!! Fortunately Dad had a spare fully charged battery in his bag, which saved loads of tears and an angry Lewis Hamilton style like drive back home, because today was new 400mm lens testing day!!!
