A grand day out

04 Jul 2011 228
A perfect summer's day for a walk up a mountain. Today's walk took in slate quarries above Coniston and then on up to the summit of the Old Man of Coniston. Looking back down from close to the summit, the nearer lake is Low Water and in the distance is Levers Water. The latter was created as a reservoir for the copper mines just visible at the right margin of the view.
