LEJOG Day's 23 & 24 (44 & 45) - Coniston to Keswick - May 19th & 20th 2019

Day two started with low cloud and drizzle but after walking to Coniston village from the campsite and having breakfast in a cafe, the cloud lifted with the sun even putting in an appearance in the afternoon. The highlight of day two was the exquisitely beautiful Tarn Hows and the ever expanding view of the Coniston Fells.

Day three of the Cumbria Way was the most impressive day of the trail so far. Setting off from the village of Chapel Stile, I headed into Great Langdale as stunning views of the Langdale Pikes opened up ahead. After a thousand foot climb up to Stake Pass, I descended into Langstrath surrounded by awesome mountain scenery before reaching Rosthwaite and following the way to Keswick via Derwent Water with beautiful views of the lake and the peaks of Skiddaw and Blencathra. A simply superb day on what is proving to be probably the most scenic trail I've ever done.
