A round of the Coniston fells from Coniston. I set off from Coniston and made my way up Coppermines valley and used the route via Low Water to get to the summit of The Old Man of Coniston. From there I went over Brim Fell to Grey Friar, then to Great Carrs and Swirl How. I then made my way over to Wetherlam before walking back down to Coniston.
