Route Map

It was always going to be a hot one today, so Connie and I along with her school friend Maya, dad Nick and dog Buster had a relatively early start up to the delightful Beacon Fell. It was so this morning warm that the delights of the cool looking Beacon Tarn were too hard for all of us to resist!

Looking across Torver Common to the Coniston fells at the start of the walk.

Maya and Connie lead the way with Beacon Fell ahead whilst Nick and Buster wait for us.

Angus and Casper have other things to do in a damp patch of mud.

Coniston Water.

Maya and Connie enjoyed the view.

The 'treasure' tin is still there at the summit. Looks like Connie has found a treasure map!

"Daddy - I fell in again!".

Oh well, in for a penny...!

Angus was in too - so were we all!
