Route Map

It was the first time we have had any sunshine for ages today, but it appeared only on the very edge of the Lake District. Looking further north it still looked a bit grim, so we had a walk to the pleasant outliers of Blawith Knott and Tottlebank Height. The camera maladies of earlier in the week are all sorted out now, so it's business as usual!

Tottlebank Height - the route is over to the tarn first.

Beacon Fell.

The higher fells are not getting any decent weather - here the Coniston fells are covered in cloud.

A  nice place for a swim in the un-named tarn for these two.

At the end of the walk, the sun was suddenly switched off! Looks like we'd had our quota for the day (or week!). Here, the merest glimpse of Coniston Water can be seen beyond Beacon Fell.
