Route Map
Today was a day of two halves - raining
and dreary this morning, clearing in the afternoon to give bright
sunshine and blue skies. Great Burney lies on the south western edge of
the Lake District National Park and is easily reached from the main
A5092 road for an easy ascent with lovely views.

of descent is the track heading diagonally left.
The Coniston fells from the cairn

The Duddon Estuary over the green

There was a cool, stiff breeze on the
top - it looks as if Angus' lead has skewered Casper here!
