East of Coniston

The weather has completely changed over the holidays to being damp and dreary rather than the crisp, clear days there were before Christmas. Not to worry, today we had a low level walk on the eastern banks of Coniston Water. The rain never let up so it was a bit of a damp affair, not that Angus and Casper were bothered - the main thing for them was to have a swim.

The jetty at Rigg Wood. It was more than a bit gloomy here today.

Someone enjoys the water more than anything though. There's no stopping Angus...but what's that behind you?

Got it! The relentless march of the stick monster!

Even Casper was having a cleansing session.

Louise and Connie share a moment on the jetty.

Another jetty, this time at Water Park.

Our favourite Iron Man at Nibthwaite.

It was teeming down with rain looking to Beacon Fell.

The River Crake, Coniston's outflow, looking pretty full at Spark Bridge.
