Brock Barrow

Walked on 21/03/2010

Start point: High Nibthwaite (SD 294 897)

Brock Barrow (OF) from High Nibthwaite

Distance: 1.5 miles     Total Ascent: 175 metres     Time Taken: 45 minutes     Start Time: 10:00

Weather: Sunny and warm, 12C

Underneath the dense cloud it was chilly but the sun soon burned it away this morning leaving conditions sunny and warm for a short walk at the southern end of Coniston Water. I had my first outing with some new boots on and will give a full review of them soon. What I can say is that they were fantastic and will be well worth checking out…
