It started out as just a nice, short walk today – Angus had other plans though, see below for further details! Superb views from a lovely, heathery ridge today although the going was fairly tough along the mainly pathless tussocky and boggy ridge.

Looking to the Coniston fells from the summit of Brock Barrow - a magnificent view from this impressive summit cairn.

A final Coniston view. Things went somewhat downhill (and uphill!) from here. Descending the eastern ridge down to the bridleway from Parkamoor, I managed to lose Angus in the bracken. The head height weed was really thick - normally it is not a problem as Angus usually barks and that is enough to spot him. Today, however, was a different story - try as I might I could not hear or see him - he had disappeared! The search for him took me 3 hours and Casper and I walked that ridge in descent and ascent a good few times, I can tell you! Finally a farmer shouted me from below as he had heard me shouting (my voice was hoarse after 3 hours - in that time I had only heard Angus barking once). Angus was stuck in an intake (a walled field) - I don't know he got in there as the walls were so high but he could not get out. I don't know who was more relieved, me or Angus!
