Torver Back Common
After all the rain over the last few days, the dogs were desperate to get out for a run somewhere so I headed towards Coniston in the expectation of some grim weather. As I approached Torver, the clouds parted and the sun began to shine – that was good enough for us to have an aimless wander around this common which gives excellent views of Coniston.
