Beacon Fell

Walked on 04/11/2005

Start point: At the end of the minor road from Brown Howe (SD 281 916)

Beacon Fell (OF) from Tottle Bank

Distance: 2 miles     Total Ascent: 200 metres     Time Taken: 45 minutes

Weather: Cold, windy with showers. 10oC.

There was more heavy rain this morning, so it was one of those days where I set off not knowing where I was going until I found a bright spot. The southern end of Coniston Water looked a good bet and it wasn’t a bad guess as most of the walk was done in the dry, only spoiled by a drizzly shower towards the end.
