29th Dec 2004

Got rained off again yesterday. So we were determined to go for a walk on our last day - "Whatever the weather".
It started damp and misty...and then got worse as it started to rain too. We started at the NT car park at Tarn Hows and did a 5-mile loop down to Guards Wood above Coniston and back on the Cumbria Way for that steep climb beside Tom Gill and its waterfalls.

You can see how muddy it was. Just about see the end of Coniston through the mist.
