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.
The path has turned into a river at the start of the walk.

Black Beck, normally a trickle - now a torrent after the heavy rain.
The River Crake, the outflow of Coniston Water is also swollen by the heavy rain.
