Tuesday 11th May 2010

I just went for a short and easy saunter around Tarn Hows today but couldn't resist the views from the east side of Coniston Water on the way there in the car. The lake was completely flat and calm this morning and offered some quite glamorous looking views. When we got to Tarn Hows the place was completely deserted so we had that all to ourselves as well.

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.

A flat and calm Coniston Water this morning at Low Peel Near.

A beautiful view of the sunlit Coniston fells.

Beacon Fell.

The western bank of Coniston Water.

...and a bit further.

...and even further round.

Coniston jetty.

The cloud is starting to build quite heavily now.

But there are still lovely reflections.

Casper and Dougal up at a deserted Tarn Hows.

Dougal finds one or two playmates in The Tarns.

B&W Tarn Hows.

Tom Gill falls are reduced to a trickle.

The outlet of Tarn Hows is reduced to nothing.

A bit of sunshine once more.

Spoiling the reflections or enhancing the view?
