It was a beautiful day once more, lovely and warm and clearer than it has been over the weekend. I managed a quick sprint on the fells with the dogs, a great day to snatch a walk like this.

As I was driving past Brown How, the view stopped me in my tracks. The lake was unbelievably calm and the sun lit up the golden foliage making a spectacular view.

A panoramic view of Coniston Water. Hmm, seemed little point in going any further and I now Beacon Fell is always a good walk...

Brown Pike, Buck Pike and Dow Crag - you can even see the Walna Scar Road if you look closely enough.
