Lake District

More photos from my Coniston walk

I didn’t go up, but walked down to Coniston Water and walked along the lake side.

By the lake side I found a quiet spot to brew up. This time I had taken my miniature Alpkit Kraku stove and my titanium canteen cook set. Using gas means it is quick a minute or two to boil a mug of water and no residue so the coffee can be made in the pot/mug. Unlike the coffee stop on Thursday.

Grassmere Lake – Walking and Geocaching

For my last day in the Lakes I parked up near Grassmere and walked on the other side of Grassmere Lake to where I was on Monday. Although most of the day was overcast there were some splashes of sun and even a short sunset, but that was when I was in the car heading back.

I also saw a very well kept “VR” post box along my walk.
