My personal diary of walking in The Lake District, travels in France and Switzerland. Much of the walking is on the fells and mountains around Coniston, Langdale and Keswick areas. I am a keen photographer of Landscapes and nature, which includes wild flowers, butterflies and other animals that I spot on our walks. I am a member of The National Trust, Cumbria Wildlife Trust and the RSPB.

Good Friday on Holme Fell
A fairly early start this morning, we were out walking by 08:20 and heading up to Holme Fell. We took the path around the back of Yewtree Farm on the eastern side of the fell and walked up through Birch and bracken to a col that overlooked the Coniston fells and the Langdales.
The views from the top are amazing for such a small fell. You can see the full length of Lake Coniston and all the surrounding fells.
To the north, Fairfield and the fells around Ambleside are also visible.
We left the summit and passing by the tarn, we headed down to Hodge Close quarry and returned home via Stang End, Little Langdale and Tilberthwaite.
