It was really quite still this afternoon for a short walk up to Beacon Fell, in fact it was mild as well so it was good to do the full walk in short sleeves. I had a hunt round for the ‘treasure tin’ up there today but it looks like some kind soul has removed it again. Why oh why oh why…?

It was lovely and still up here and not a soul around today.

The view from Beacon Fell. No treasure tin today, it has disappeared again.
Down at Beacon Tarn, Casper is already in.
As if by magic...Casper and Dougal are all cleaned again after that quick dip.

I took an off-piste route back, here looking towards the Coniston fells from above the usual path.
