Tuesday 3 November 2009 - A Great British Ridge Walk - Dow Crag and Coniston Old Man
Looking back after setting off along Walna Scar Road
The summits are clear!
The sun is shining!
Looking back down the track
Yes, this is the Walna Scar Road, or should that be 'Beck'
Roaring torrent under the old packhorse bridge
Sunshine and showers, with Brown Pike and Buck Pike

It was a day for rainbows - here on the Walna Scar Road having finished the walk at about 1 pm
The Black Bull Hotel - a familiar sight to visitors of Coniston
Bill approves of today's route - he writes about it on page 48
