Wetherlam, Swirl How and Consiton Old Man

The Coniston Ridge from Tilberthwaite with Ian Lyne based at Fir Bank.

Route: Leaving the car in Coniston, the ground level foot path round the Yewdale Fells to the Tilberthwaite road and the Goldsworthy sheep fold. Then up the south side of Tilberthwaite Ghyll to Steel Ridge and thence onto Wetherlam. Following the ridge past Swirl How, Brim Fell and Coniston Old Man and down the path to the south and back round to the Walna Sca Road (where, by chance, we met A&A).

Conditions: Low cloud to begin with but the cloud lifted off each summit sequentially.

Pub: Sun Hotel for Tag Lag and Cumbrian Legendary Ales Loweswater Gold.
