Today seemed as good a day as any to get out on the fells with young Fletcher – of course, with him being so young it had to be short and sweet but he seemed to take to it okay even in the hottest of summer conditions. It was absolutely gorgeous up there today, certainly the warmest weather I have been out in for a while.
All is bright and all is green at the start of the walk from High Nibthwaite.
Looking across Allan Tarn.
Brock Barrow - lots of heat and lots of flies for us to contend with today.

Made it Fletcher - good lad!
Fletcher has more than a hint of Casper about him.
Heading for the second cairn.
Hot!
A fabulous view of Coniston Water and the fells.
Keeping an eye on things.
Back down at Coniston Water.
That looks like a good place to be.
Fletcher is a swimmer!
