Route Map

I'm still on 'tekkin it easy' mode at the moment but I will be back on the rough stuff soon enough. This is always a delightful walk whatever the weather and today it was drizzly and overcast. That didn't really take too much away from the walk though and it seemed unusually quiet this morning - there wasn't a soul around anywhere.

It was a bit murky this morning but quite still and a pleasant enough temperature, here looking towards the Coniston fells, shrouded in mist.

The view towards Windermere, it seemed brighter to the east.

It was amazingly still down at the tarn, still drizzling though.
