Beacon Fell

Walked on 07/05/2010

Start point: At the end of the minor road from Brown Howe (SD 281 916)

Beacon Fell (OF) from Tottle Bank

Distance: 2 miles     Total Ascent: 200 metres    Time Taken: 1 hour     Start Time: 09:50

Weather: Overcast, 10C

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!

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!

The boys seem to know the way back okay.

Down at Brown Howe, the level of Coniston Water seems really low.
