It was always going to be a hot one today, so Connie and I along with her school friend Maya, dad Nick and dog Buster had a relatively early start up to the delightful Beacon Fell. It was so this morning warm that the delights of the cool looking Beacon Tarn were too hard for all of us to resist!

Maya and Connie enjoyed the view.
The 'treasure' tin is still there at the summit. Looks like Connie has found a treasure map!

Oh well, in for a penny...!
Angus was in too - so were we all!
