There was just time for a quick walk with the dogs at the south eastern side of Coniston Water this afternoon. I thought I would have escaped the rain but as soon as I made the top, the heavens opened. It is very rare to see anyone up on this side but I bumped into three people who just happened to be StridingEdge fans today – nice to meet you all.

The trees are certainly on the turn now.
Three people sat on the summit were rudely interrupted by boisterous Dougal - good job they were StridingEdge fans, otherwise they may not have been so keen to see him!
Dougal and Casper on the summit.
