I’m still taking it easy at the moment but the doctor ordered fresh air, so who was I to argue? The dogs and I are, of course, going up the wall but an easy walk up to Beacon Fell was good enough to escape confinement today. The weather was really changeable and was coupled with a strong breeze…but we were out!
Beacon Fell route map.
It looks quite pleasant and sunny at the start of the walk.
Hmm, it's a bit more ominous looking over the other way though.
A gloomy view to the east over Stable Harvey Moss.
Casper crosses his paws and wishes that we can get out on more walks soon.
The rain blowing in from the eastern fells.
Climbing the gully.
These two dogs are happy to be out.
Coniston Water from the gully.
The summit of Beacon Fell. It was pleasing to see the treasure tin has made a welcome return here, Dougal found it by sniffing out the goodies inside!
Dow Crag and The Old Man.
Coniston Water now with blue sky.
Dougal is one year old tomorrow.
All change on the Coniston fells as the blue sky appears once more.
Beacon Tarn.
Dougal and Casper were straight in.
He's in deep water now!
The boys seem to know the way back okay.
Down at Brown Howe, the level of Coniston Water seems really low.
