Route Map

It was amazingly warm today  - so warm that I completed the walk in only a t-shirt, but unfortunately the walk was largely done in the mist. That means there were no views and few photos with the clouds only parting occasionally. At least we were dry though...

Casper a blur on the Walna Scar Road - which way is it?

A brief clearing of the clouds and a glimpse of Little Arrow Moor.

...and across to Coniston Water.

Casper on the summit of The Old Man - not a view to be had today.

Casper and the other Old Man.

Out of the gloom to Low Water.

Low Water felt quite an eerie place with the mist hanging over it, only the echoing of an Angus bark to shatter the peace.

Spot the gruesome-twosome.

The Coppermines Valley from the descent.
