It was t-shirt weather in glorious sunshine for our walk to Beacon Fell this afternoon. There was one overriding objective today; to replace the treasure box on the summit, something which we have enjoyed finding and adding our names to over the last couple of years. Last time I visited it had disappeared and subsequent reports by others confirmed that it was still missing. Some people may object to such things, but I think of Beacon Fell as a family fell and the treasure box just adds a little extra something to the walk for youngsters. So, if you are up there, don’t forget to look for it and add your name to the visitors book.

It was lovely and sunny this afternoon, here looking across to Coniston from further up the climb to Beacon Fell.

Mission accomplished - Connie and Angus at the summit cairn complete with new treasure box hidden (please don't destroy the cairn looking for it - it isn't that well hidden!).

ngus (aka Rod Stewart), Connie and Casper (aka Laughing Boy) take a minute for a rest on the descent towards Beacon Tarn.
