Coniston, Park Coppice CAMC Site, continued

Wednesday, 9th January 2019

Minus 1C overnight, so, a heavy frost and a clear crisp morning, only plus 1C by 10:00am, but, a beautiful winter morning.


A walk along the lakeshore, eight miles in total, with a picnic lunch, followed later by coffee and scones with strawberry jam.

A very quiet and calm day, although we are out walking for something like four hours, we encounter only four other walkers, and, a lone cyclist.

We have now "checked out" both routes to the village (including the pubs and, if we are here until Saturday/Sunday, the church). Both the lakeside and former railway path are unlit. Could be interesting walking along there in the pitch dark!

The temperate never rises above 4C, but, it is a beautiful winters day nevertheless.

A balmy 3C this morning, with a bit of cloud cover.

A less active day today, only 4 miles walked, and that was to the pub for lunch. 

The Ship Inn is extensively advertised, and, looked promising, but, when we got there it was closed today! Of the other three pubs in Coniston, only the Black Bull was serving food, or, indeed open, so, the Black Bull it was. Enjoyable lunch.
