Another long day - up early and drove via Penrith, Pooley Bridge & Howtown to Martindale. Arrived at 8am in time to see first pair through valley crossing disturb a herd of 40+ red deer.
Adults jumped fences and away but fawns tried to head butt their way through without success. For an hour the hinds were back and forth trying to help the fawns.
After 3.5 hours drove back around to Finish & helped for rest of day. Away around 5pm.
Helping with SLMM. 3 hours on Start and packing up. 3 hours on Finish welcoming them off the hill. Driving and faffing in between.
Eventually drove back from Overnight camp to Assembly with a pair who were retiring around 4pm - long day.

By accident I started off without the pull bouy so thought I ought to stick with varied session.
