Route Map

Today we had a short walk from Staveley up to Reston Scar, the one that is clearly visible from the main road heading towards Windermere. It was really quite pleasant when the sun was shining and the views were fairly extensive.

Climbing the path from Brow Lane to Reston Scar.

Casper and Brunt Knott.

Kemp Tarn, a tarn that made Casper dirtier rather than cleaner when he had a dip.

Looking along the wall to Hugill Fell.

The silhouette of the Coniston fells from the top of Reston Scar.

Connie and Casper at the top. It was warm until we reached the top where we managed to find the breeze.
