Jan 12th The Old Man of Coniston

A great forecast for the weekend, but no snow and ice for climbing, so we set off for a walk over Wetherlam, Black Sails and the Old Man of Coniston.
Distance: 7.6 miles
Height gain: 3500ft




The ground was frozen at about 550m after a sharp frost the night before.


Wind blown frost
Gill Cove above Levers Water
Looking East from Furness Fell
North Gully on Hen Crag (probably)
Across to the Old Man from Furness Fell

North from Wetherlam summit to Bowfell

The Prison Band and Swirl How
Towards the Old Man and Dow Crag
Lets hope the forecast for some snow and cold temperatures is right and the gullys and crags are good for some climbing soon.
