Finding our Sunday slightly more free than originally intended we treated ourselves to a posh breakfast and drove to Coniston, parking in the top car park.
The weather was pleasant but not too sunny, which made this classic a rather popular destination. We took our time strolling up, appreciating the old quarry workings and infrastructure before stopping for a snack at low water.
Continuing on up hill the views soon opened up (as did the breeze), and before long we had reached the summit and completed the obligatory photo take for a random couple. We didn't hang around for too long at the top and enjoyed a brisk but quieter walk off.
