A short walk up to Holme Fell from Hodge
Close today; there are great views of The Langdale Pikes and Coniston
Water from here. The skies were murky and threatening 'weather' but we
managed to get down before the worst. Hodge Close is an intriguing
place; it is a disused quarry that warrants closer inspection and its
deep chasm holds relics of an industrial past.

Hodge Close, a disused quarry...
...with cobalt blue water at the bottom of the deep

Two great arches, the entrance to the hole....
...nice for a swim.
