I went with Connie and the dogs to check out our old favourite Beacon Fell – the treasure tin is still there in the cairn which was good to see. I was surprised there was no one else around up there today, the lower fells always appeal more during the school holidays. As ever, the sun came out as we reached the car at the end…
