"Moderate wind with quite a chill throughout the day above 500m. Must have been 3-5c on some of the summits. Was a big day but slightly annoyed I missed the Walna Scar and White Maiden nuttalls off near the end. Unfortunately towards the end the skies turned dark with black clouds and the heavens opened up so quickly it was too late to get the waterproofs on fast enough. Suffice to say we just wanted to get back to the car." — adventure-stricken • Aug 24, 2024
"Completing the Old Man of Coniston, unfortunately the weather had turned overcast with lots of wind/rain and cloud cover. We followed a circular route from the car park at Walna Scar road.. It sets off in a westerly direction along Walna Scar road itself, before turning northwards to start the real climbing over Brown Pike, Buck Pike and Dow Crag. Every now and again we would be treated with a stunning pocket of clear sky to see the beautiful valleys around. Great walk would love to come back and do it again in better conditions. :)" — Nicolefrances • Jul 11, 2023
"Three scrambles, three Wainwrights.
The Bell is a lovely easy scramble on perfect rough rock, grade 1.
Brim Fell slabs again mainly on good rock, grade 2.
Dow Crag by the South Rake, grade 1.
Returned over The Old Man to make the three Wainwrights." — johnandsue4fun • May 3, 2023
"1/1/2023 A great walk on New Years Day.
Awful weather! Rain, sleet, hail, blowing a gale. Only saw 6 people all day and no views! Weather conditions probably added an hour to the time." — johnandsue4fun • Jan 1, 2023
"19/05/2022 a lovely short afternoon outing on our local hills. Starting from Coniston we approached Dow Crag via the South Rake route ( an easy but pleasant scramble ). Tea on the summit was followed in 30 minutes by Coniston Old Man. Slightly backtracking over Brim Fell we took the relatively unfrequented route back to Low Water down Brim Fell Rake - excellent views towards the Old Man and the tourists sweating on their path! Four hours round trip and back in time for beers in the sunny garden.
Susan going well today." — johnandsue4fun • May 19, 2022
"With Ingram and Caerwyn Lloyd, and Susan. Went via tourist route and down by Goats Water. Weather cleared as we got to summit giving the newcomers good views of Dow Crag. A nice easy outing for my birthday!" — johnandsue4fun • Jan 25, 2022
"Afternoon walk in cloud and wind but no rain. 3.5 hours round trip. Descent from Swirl How via Prison Band ridge, thence down Coppermines valley to Coniston. Sue bringing up the rear." — johnandsue4fun • Dec 31, 2021
"Early lunch meant I could get some exercise on this nice day whilst leaving Susan to work in the garden! Very pleasant temperatures and good views today. Back home before dusk to check the gardening." — johnandsue4fun • Dec 28, 2021
"5/12/2021. Wetherlam to The Old Man via Swirl How and the ridge southwards to Coniston Old Man. Lovely December day with snow and a cold wind sufficient to keep most tourists away. Susan accompanied me as usual." — johnandsue4fun • Dec 5, 2021
