Beacon Fell (OF) from Tottle Bank

What a gorgeous afternoon it turned out to be today for our walk up to Beacon Fell, in amongst the Ling once more. We planned to replace the treasure tin on the top but another one has turned up so that’s fine. We left a couple of things in the box and were then lured to Beacon Tarn, difficult to resist on a day like this.
