Coniston Magnificent Seven - Solo Lake District Hike
- 9 Summits including 7 Wainwrights.
I decided to get use early and pick a random route out of my "Walking the Wainwrights in 36 Walks" book. As you saw int he last video, I passed Coniston on the Cumbria Way so it felt apt to return to Coniston and head up the Old Man which is a first time for me.
It was a real shame about the views from some of the summits but had a great walk and really enjoyed it. It was really unlike me to struggle with cramp and some muscle ache on this one. I've been struggling with my knees a little after the recent back to back long walks so it may be that however it didn't stop me that day.
I also have some amazing news about the drone.....I have it back! As you can see, I lost in in the Slate and didn't even try looking for it as through it would be futile. However after being home and posting my pics the following day, someone local to Coniston enquired about my drone as they walk there frequently and mentioned they could have a look for me. A few hours later he contacted me - he found it! I was honestly amazed as my insurance was looking to cost £175 which I really don';t have at the moment but thankfully he's posted me the drone back and I can just do a smaller claim to repair the drone and battery and get up and running again.
It goes to show there are some great honest people out there and I am very grateful.
