Today I managed to get out and about for my second Lakes, Meres and Waters recce.
After my work morning in Coniston I decided to go and pick up the route from the top of the Walna Scar road, with my objective being to connect Goats Water, Low Water and Levers Water. Not a lot of this run was spent on established paths, which meant lots of exploring new places and finding some awesome (and some not so awesome) lines.
It's well worth getting this leg right as you could easily add a bunch of distance and ascent that isn't required, plus the adventure of using some awesome trods is all part of the magic of this route I feel.
