| This
short walk allowed us to finish off all of the Coniston Fells, we
decided to start it from the summit of Wrynose Pass to save a long walk
in from the Coniston side. It was a easy walk, the only bad bits was
the very rough path leading up the lower part of Wet Side Edge, but the
National Trust are in the process of carrying out path repairs, we
stopped and spoke to the two chaps carrying out works on the way up. |
