Ascent of Coniston Old Man (12)
Summary
[edit]_-_geograph.org.uk_-_1540949.jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description |
English: Ascent of Coniston Old Man (12) Alfred Wainwright (AW) describes the various ascents of The Old Man of Coniston, at 2633 feet, in his unique and thorough style; detailed both in text and drawings. Via Church Beck, AW quotes a distance of 2.5 miles, and 2450 feet of ascent. Very much the Tourist Route, and attempted by walkers of all abilities, the summit gives superb views on a clear day. With this series of photographs, I have attempted to show the route as it would be seen by the walker; looking initially towards the summit, but as the summit disappears from sight and the walker is faced with a steeper face of rock and meandering paths, some views back down the climb in the direction of Coniston.
I used the Coniston Tourist Information office as a start point, and have added the {camera} times for each photograph, as this information may be of interest to potential walkers who are not familiar with the route. Looking across to Low Water. It had taken me 60 minutes to reach here. A chance to admire the view for a minute; the real climb starts soon after this point. {12.17}. http://www.wainwright.org.uk/ |
