It is a tradition in our local churches to have a sunrise Service for Easter Day, at 630am on top of our local hill, Tegg’s Nose.

I woke just before 5 so decided to go for an early #EasterWalkWithGuinness

(Long thread with lots of photos; feel free to mute)

At 530 it was still dark but the birds were singing

We could just see where we were heading for

Walking across the fields, I saw a bat darting around - pipistrelle, I think.

We arrived at the reservoir just as it started to get light

#EasterWalkWithGuinness

As the sky started to turn pink, Guinness became visible!

#EasterWalkWithGuinness

The pink sky was spectacular

#EasterWalkWithGuinness

Guinness crossed the stream as we started to climb

#EasterWalkWithGuinness

A little more birdsong (and Guinness)

Nearing the top and definitely lighter now - around 630am

The reading for Easter Day:

“They did not believe the women, because their words seemed to them like nonsense.”

Guinness enjoyed himself while I was making videos; he ate all the biscuits from my coat pocket (I’d foolishly put my coat on the ground)

At about 0650 the sun rose above the hills

(Guinness did get in the way of one shot)

#EasterWalkWithGuinness

And so we set off to walk back down to Langley

#EasterWalkWithGuinness

The views were just as good going down

#EasterWalkWithGuinness

And Guinness still had plenty of energy (probably due to the biscuits)

#EasterWalkWithGuinness

And down to the bottom; back to the reservoir

#EasterWalkWithGuinness

Daffodils in Langley

And Langley Methodist Chapel

(Where we would usually have bacon and eggs after the Sunrise Service - but today I had to walk home for breakfast!)

#EasterWalkWithGuinness

And finally - almost home, and Guinness needed a rest. So did I.

Hope you’ve enjoyed this #EasterWalkWithGuinness

A Happy and Peaceful Easter to you all.
