Hooray – made it to the top – lovely hot sunshine & good breeze. Boats look lovely on the lake & so do all the fells. Beacon Tarn will be good for the dogs and all their mud.

Wow – I haven’t walked in ages! It’s taking its toll but more than worth it when you get to the top.
I didn’t even know the tin & logbook existed until my trusty guide (who thankfully dragged me up here) told me about it. Thank you to its creators not least of all because it means I can have a wee sit down.
Love Kat Ford

Broken cloud, light wind, mild, perfect.
We all loved the walk & our dogs the swim. The reward is always at the top, the fantastic view, but something extra today, a treasure chest, made fascinating reading while having our picnic. Thank you.#Jenny & Mick – North Devon

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.

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

THE RICHARDSONS!

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

Monday 4th May
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.
