All the way from Cape Town – SA. Lake District has welcomed us in style with what it does best – rain!
But wonderful to be here, out running on the fells!

The cloud is just on the mountain tops with the sun shining on ours.
We think this is one of the best views in the lake district.
Love finding this little treasure tin. Cheers

Made the hill in good time, great views all round.
Sam fell in the bog on way up so had to jump in the tarn.

A lovely day on the summit. I’ve seen two tiger butterflies. It’s really clear up here and can see for miles.

Your website is a great inspiration along with Wainwright’s books. I think about the fells every day!
Rosie was very excited about finding the tin, she thought Connie might be up here too! She scoffed the curly-wurly and replaced it with hula-hoops. Fine mountain food!

Dear Connie
I am 7 and love your shop and wish we could go on a walk together. I have done 34 Wainwrights, my favourites are Haystacks and Catbells.
Love Rosie Whiting x

It’s Rod’s 48th birthday today. What a lovely way to spend it walking in the Lakes.
Must dash soon, as a rain band is chasing up Coniston water!!
Back soon.

An evening fell run to the top without stopping. Stunning views as always. Someone left the short walks guide on the cairn – so if you are a visitor help yourself

Sitting on the sheltered side of the cairn – blooming windy but beautiful sunshiney haze. Resisting the twix’s in the tin is difficult
Knew I should’ve brought the vino to go with our still warm jackets. Xxx

Lovely lunch at the tarn.
Blown the cobwebs away.
Great view. What a surprise, found by Molly! Never found a treasure chest but had heard of them!

We came up here especially to find the treasure tin, after seeing it on the Striding Edge website. Our border collie also wanted to meet Casper – no luck today! We enjoyed the climb & the views. Love,

Sunday 3rd May
Spectacular views after the wind had blown the clouds and kids away. Matthew wouldn’t part with his Doctor Who badge (even though he has two exactly the same). So we put in his lolly while he wasn’t looking.
Great idea, we found a similar tin near Alcock Tarn – Grasmere a few weeks ago. It is an opening fro the stream at the front edge of the tarn.
Ste, Keren, Sam & Matt Szelesi

Very windy!
But we made it and good to see the tin back. I missed it last time... Can’t see the fells for the clouds, so the map in the back is handy.
