Route: leaving the car on the road past the Ruskin Museum in Consiston and continuing on foot on the road/track towards the coppermines but turning left over the Miners’ Bridge to pick up a good path under the Bell. Accidentally taking a wrong turn and hence finding ourselves at the Pudding Stone and Boulder Valley and so gently climbing on a grassy path to reach Levers Water, bending left to take the pitched path up to Levers Hause and then along to the summit. Descending by picking a largely pathless route towards Raven Tor to find a clear grassy path down a shallow valley to Low Water. Picking up the main tourist path (possibly for the first time ever) to descend to meet the outward path but staying on the south side of Levers Water Beck at the Miners’ Bridge and hence back past the Sun to the Black Bull for a pint and then back to the car.Conditions: initially a sunny autumn day giving way to cloud and one very light shower.
Pub: the Black Bull, Coniston for Coniston Infinity IPA and Bluebird XB.
