 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. 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. 6th September 2009 at 10:03 pmThis is the view from the cottage I am staying in at Coniston
The cottage is situated part way up the Old Man of Coniston and has fantastic views over Coniston Water. |
