This afternoon's walk was a round of some of the Coniston fells. The
weather turned out better than promised with some great views,
especially from Swirl How where the sun shone. There was a strong, cold
wind blowing on the tops and it was also really busy up there today.

Great photos, I was up there on Monday, it was busy then as well, but I
was walking in the opposite direction to all tourists so wasn't to bad.
my route was :-
Start Torver
Goatfoot Crags
Up Walma Scar Road
Brown Pike
Dow Crag
Goats Hawse
Black Crag
Brim Fell Rake
Coniston Old Man
Crowberry Haws
then south back to Torver baggying any cache finds on the route round,
got 2 out of 3.
That day the farmers were bringing in the sheep of the fells, never
seen this before and how from a great distance the sheep just get on
the paths and walk down the valley. Only time Chris Bonningtons claim
that sheep were to blame for path errosion in the Lake District had a
little baring (famous quote he gave the Westmorland Gazette)

It was very windy on the tops, many people were (surprisingly) dressed
for a polar expedition!

That's a good round.

The farmers can often be heard shouting them in from miles away - they
must have a sore throat by the end of it all!
