Beacon Fell

Walked on 24/10/2007

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 45 minutes

Weather: Bright and sunny. 13oC.

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.

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!).

Beacon Fell, the family fell. I wonder if they were the first to find the treasure?

Reflected Connie - a good test for those boots this one. At least they are clean now reasoned Connie and I couldn't argue with that!
