My waterproofs have been getting some use on the last few walks, that is for sure! Today was no exception as the rain never let up all morning for our short walk on the east side of Coniston Water up to Top o’ Selside. There were no views and the photos were snatched ones in the rain, but the lower sections of the walks through the ancient woods were pleasant enough. We were all glad of the fresh air, whatever the weather.

Bluebells in the woods and a glimpse of Coniston Water through the trees.

It was more than a bit damp in Dodgson Wood!

A big shower passes over us and towards Low Parkamoor farm in the centre.
