Route Map

I still have a bit of a holiday hangover and was feeling quite lethargic this morning but I had a quick walk up to Beacon Fell. The weather was pretty well overcast but seemed to be clearing and the temperature was pleasant enough. Those two bouncing beardies certainly enjoyed their walk up there today.

Casper and Dougal make a break for it at the start of the walk.

Not much to see this morning looking towards the Coniston fells.

Sheep spotting on the way to Beacon Fell.

Climbing the gully.

Lingy Dougal.

Today, Casper is sporting matching heather, tongue, lips and Striding Edge band!

Coniston Water.

Sunburst over Nibthwaite.

The summit of Beacon Fell - I left my Striding Edge band in the treasure tin if anyone wants one.

Coniston Water from the summit.

A brief interlude of sunshine on Wool Knott.

Beacon Tarn.

More sun on the way back, I'm sure it will clear up later.

Dreamy reflections.

The boy is back in town.
