Met at Coniston.
We met at the Cathedral car park, Lancaster and made our way to Coniston Village. After a welcome break in a local cafe we set off for our walk (the 6th adventure so far!) Today’s walk had 12 walkers with the girls outnumbering the boys yet again.It was a very overcast and rainy day with very low cloud and we were undecided whether to risk going to the summit of the Old Man of Coniston. The decision was made when we met another group of walkers who had been to the top. They told us that visibility was very poor and that there was snow on the peak.We celebrated Mass near a small tarn with the first reading from the Book of Genesis about Noah building the Ark and God sending the rainbow as a sign. It was rather fitting that a rainbow appeared on our walk but we didn’t have to contend with any great flood!It was St David’s Day, so we each wore a daffodil which supported the work of Marie Curie.After lunch we started our descent. It was a very very cold day and we were conscious of bad weather approaching and had to make sure that we returned to the starting point in safety.
