Mom and Dad's visit II

On Wednesday all four of us headed to Coniston for a 8-mile walk up the Old Man of Coniston and Swirl How. This was the first time any of us had been hill walking in the Lakes so we all were rather nervous and excited.

The warm weather and clear skies made for some sweaty walking but some spectacular views.

The final ascent did require a bit of scrambling but we all made it up in one piece.

The views were pretty spectacular.

I love this picture of Lee. Maybe it's just the wedding band.

We sorely underestimated the amount of water we would need (we're such rookies) so this Coke I had at the pub at the end of the route was the tastiest Coke I've ever had!

We could see England's highest peak in the distance, so Lee and I will definitely be climbing Scafell Pike soon!
