A bit brighter over Burney and Kirkby Moor.

At the Giant's Grave
These two seem to know the way!
Light and shade - the Coniston fells don't appear to be fairing as well as us
Aye, aye - the windswept look for Fletcher
It was indeed a strange mix - really warm with big dark clouds to the west and blue skies to the east
At the western cairn on Blawith Knott
Dougal shows Fletcher what a proper fellwalking tongue should look like
We are still in the sunshine, but not for long I think
The path past Angus Tarn to Tottlebank Height
A dip in Angus Tarn for the boys
Wool Knott in the sunshine, beyond is the darker shape of Beacon (Fell)
That is the view to Coniston Water from Tottlebank Height
Darker skies now on the return leg - 5 minutes after getting in the car it started to rain (so good timing really)

It’s been a long time, but better late than never! Rumours of my demise have been greatly exaggerated – I am still around and walks have been done, they just haven’t made it onto this website. I did wonder whether it is worth carrying on with the site – am I flogging a dead horse? Things have changed in the web world with instant posts on Facebook etc making a website like mine largely irrelevant so I would be interested in hearing what you think, good or bad…if there is still anyone looking!
