17/12/10 - Tarn Hows

Distance - 7 Miles
Geocaches - None.

After the excursions of yesterday, we have a low level walk today.


Can you guess where we are?

This takes in the edge of coniston water and then heads up through woodland to the impressive Tarn Hows.  This is a series of man made lakes that sit in the middle of incredible views of distant hills.  Wish I could recognise more than Coniston Old Man that we climbed yesterday.

We walk around the lakes, completely frozen, and then head up for Torver intake for even better views...

Backdrop, on Torver Intake
We walk back down around Tom Heights (thankfully not climbing them today), to pick up the cumbria way, returning us to the town. 

A nice gentle one, after the excursions of yesterday.
