Route Map

It was really quite warm and sunny today, perhaps this is the real start of Spring? Everything seems to be beginning to bud and all the daffodils around are in full flower - anyway, it was good to get some fresh air and not have to bother about keeping dry for a change.

The Giant's Grave.

Connie and her friend Abbie looking forward to enjoying the Spring weather.

The blue skies and sunshine seemed to be coming in from the south west, here looking across to the Dunnerdale fells from the climb.

The Coniston fells with the distant Scafell and Scafell Pike visible in the centre.

Try keeping Casper and Dougal out of there!
