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.
Misty morning in the Crake Valley.
Dougal and Casper lead the way.

The mist is being burned away by the sun.
Coniston Water from Brock Barrow, the high fells are cloud covered for now.
Casper and Dougal.
He's like a coiled spring, that Dougal - look at him, ready to bounce away.

Allan Tarn is a widening of the River Crake as it flows from Coniston Water.
Looking into the sun at Allan Tarn, known as Octopus Lagoon in Ransome's 'Swallows and Amazons'.
