 12th September 2009 at 5:12 pmSet off from Coniston at 7 am for my second week’s holiday near Newquay in Cornwall. Stopped off at Witney on the way to break up the journey but couldn’t stay too long.
Then I queued for ages through the roadworks on the M5 finally arriving at my base for the week at Crantock Beach at 6 pm. Continue reading “Witney Court, the M5 and Crantock Beach” » View Comments | 1 views
11th September 2009 at 6:33 pmThe week has been leading up to this – the accent of the Coniston Old Man – the highest point in the Furness Fells at 803 metres.
I set out a 08:00 and it’s only 3 miles to the summit, but it took me 4 hours to get there. The route starts off easily enough but soon the path become pretty treacherous, climbing steeply and formed of very loose slate. View Comments | 0 views
10th September 2009 at 8:47 pmAfter a stop in Hawkshead for some souvenir shopping I headed over to Bowness, via the Windermere car ferry.
Took the cruise to the southern tip of the lake before stopping off in Windermere for lunch. View Comments | 1 views
9th September 2009 at 6:21 pmFor the third day in a row – I’ve left the car at the cottage and set out on foot. This time to the neighbouring village of Torver.
From the Village, the route first passes along the western bank of the lake until after a few miles the path turns inland through woods toward Torver View Comments | 1 views
8th September 2009 at 5:28 pmAnother walk from Coniston – this time east to Grizedale Forest.
As forecast, it was raining heavily all day – Most of the paths were under water so I got to find out just how waterproof my GoreTex Shoes were. At the end of the day my feet were bone dry. View Comments | 0 views
7th September 2009 at 6:49 pmFirst proper walk of the holiday – from the centre of Coniston up to Levers Water
The trails start in the village centre to the east of Church Beck and and there is a fairly good track all the way up to the reservoir. Steep but not too challenging. View Comments | 1 views
