Beacon Fell

Walked on 04/06/2008

Start point: At the end of the minor road from Brown Howe (SD 281 916)

Beacon Fell (OF) from Tottle Bank

Distance: 2 miles     Total Ascent: 200 metres    Time Taken: 1 hour

Weather: Some sunny spells. 16ºC.

Beacon Fell seemed to be on the half way line of weather this morning – to the north looked black and gloomy, to the south was sunshine and blue skies and there was Beacon Fell right in the middle. It was good to get out for a quick walk though and give Angus a decent walk too and also we could have a quick check of the treasure box whilst we were there.

Looks a bit black over Bill's mothers to the north...

..but there are blue skies to the south. Casper contemplates climbing the gully to Beacon Fells' summit.

The Coniston fells from the summit. Our treasure box has disappeared, it has either fallen foul of the elements or some surly person who doesn't agree with fun on the fells has removed it.
