Coniston car park
There is another car park near this spot just before reaching . . .
Tarn Hows . . .
which was constructed in Victorian times . . .
by the landowner . . .
from three small pools
Time for a break . . .
before heading through woodland . . .
where strong winds . . .
have damaged many of the trees . . .
and made our route an obstacle course
From Black Fell (Black Crag) . . .
there are good views . . .
over Coniston Water . . .
and the photographer captures the photographer
