the start of the quiet path from Boo Tarn to Coniston Old Man

a short way up the path we found this basking young adder

on the west ridge of Coniston Old Man with Coniston Water below

zooming in on Brown Pike and Blind Tarn with Black Combe very faintly behind on the left

Wetherlam, Levers Water and Low Water from the top of Coniston Old Man

looking north to Brim Fell and Swirl How from Coniston Old Man summit

zooming in on the Scafells from the top of Coniston Old Man

arriving at the summit of Brim Fell

leaving Brim Fell northwards with Swirl How ahead

zooming in on Pike o'Blisco and Pike o'Stickle

looking north over the true summit of Swirl How ..

.. which is clearly higher than the cairn and possibly higher than Coniston Old Man

a glimpse of Goat's Water with Coniston Water in the distance from near the top of Dow Crag

looking back to Dow Crag from its south ridge

approaching Brown Pike with Walna Scar and White Maiden beyond
