Brock Barrow

Walked on 19/11/2010

Start point: High Nibthwaite (SD 294 897)

Brock Barrow (OF) from High Nibthwaite

Distance: 1.5 miles     Total Ascent: 175 metres     Time Taken: 20 minutes     Start Time: 10:30

Weather: Sunny with clearing mist. 5C

I just about had time for a quick walk at the southern eastern end of Coniston Water today and I think it caught the best of the early weather as there was lots of low lying mist, but also the high fells were covered too. This is a good walk for the effort/view ratio and there is rarely anyone around here.

He's like a coiled spring, that Dougal - look at him, ready to bounce away.
