Thank you from C & S from Carlisle.

Stopped raining for ~1 hour.
.... but it's just started again.
Very windy, stopped raining, sun out a bit, lovely walk up here, Rolfie had a swim in the tarn (border collie), not warm enough for me, partner says.
I'm a wimp, might do a skinny dip in Coniston, then again might not.
Lovely up here, can't believe the fantastic views, thought Peak District was great, but this is something else.
Happy walking everybody, all the best,

G'day treasure box!!
I've come all the way from Adelaide, Australia to one of the most beautiful panoramas I've seen. Everything is so green!
I'm particlarly fond of the yachts on the lake, they glide so gracefully, and the fluffy clouds that pass overhead.
Perhaps I will come back some day so don't go away.

This time last week we (Andrew, Pennie, Emma & Lucy) were walking across Morecambe Bay for CWT, nice to look down on it now.

Hello Treasure Box.
How nice to find you at the top of this lovely hill.
Blue skies, fluffy clouds, very good visibility.
And a great companion to share it with...

G'day treasure box!!
I've come all the way from Adelaide, Australia to one of the most beautiful panoramas I've seen. Everything is so green!
I'm particlarly fond of the yachts on the lake, they glide so gracefully, and the fluffy clouds that pass overhead.
Perhaps I will come back some day so don't go away.

This is our 57th wedding Anniversary and to celebrate it, we are having lunch at Beacon Fell. I'm having chicken and I think Ethel is looking forward to a damn good stuffing. (SAGE)
Looking forward to coming back when the game season is on, so we can pack some pheasant sandwiches. Ethel says she always enjoys a gamey old cock.
Looking forward to rollerblades back down after a couple of vodz.
Cheers Noman

Beacon fell smells bad on the way up and down, but in spite of that it was fair enjoyable, part from the mass of POO and bugs.
Maybe the maid should come and av a tidy up ey?

Happy to be here and 4 months pregnant to boot. A few months more and it would have been an effort. Amazing views and peace.

I'm Grace Robinson from Blackpool and I'm 11. Me and my mum and dad came up here on the 16/4/08!
Great view and even though I moaned all the way up, it's well worth it!

Like Wainwright I turn my head to the high fells & dream of days passed. In the middle of a round of AW's Outlying Fells.

Set off from Coppermines YHA at 8.00am on my way to Barrow via a cross country route. It's been wet and windy so far but the views have been good in the gaps. Another shower is on its way from the Old Man as I write this. The end of the Lake has just disappeared into gloom, better get going!

He made it to the Beacon cairn and looked around to see the golden sands of Morecambe Bay, Peel Island on a misty day,
so he placed his rock upon the cairn
pleased with his reward today.
