I'm still taking it easy at the moment but
the doctor ordered fresh air, so who was I to argue? The
dogs and I are, of course, going up the wall but an easy
walk up to Beacon Fell was good enough to escape confinement
today. The weather was really changeable and was coupled
with a strong breeze...but we were out!
Like StridingEdge.net? Have a look at the new
StridingEdge fan page on
Facebook where there are discussions
and photos about all things Lake District.
It looks quite pleasant and sunny at the
start of the walk.
Hmm, it's a bit more ominous looking over the
other way though.
A gloomy view to the east over Stable Harvey
Moss.
Casper crosses his paws and wishes that we
can get out on more walks soon.
The rain blowing in from the eastern fells.
Climbing the gully.
These two dogs are happy to be out.
Coniston Water from the gully.
The summit of Beacon Fell. It was pleasing
to see the treasure tin has made a welcome return here, Dougal
found it by sniffing out the goodies inside!
Dow Crag and The Old Man.
Coniston Water now with blue sky.
Dougal is one year old tomorrow.
All change on the Coniston fells as the blue
sky appears once more.
Beacon Tarn.
Dougal and Casper were straight in.
He's in deep water now!
The boys seem to know the way back okay.
Down at Brown Howe, the level of Coniston Water
seems really low.
