Wetherlam to Swirl How (Part 2)

Part 2:   Wetherlam to Swirl How, Great Carrs 

& return to Tilberthwaite 

Levers Water from the climb up Prison Band to Swirl How 2630ft 

Looking over Langdale from Swirl How summit to Fairfield & the

Helvellyn range


The memorial at the crash site of the Canadian Halifax bomber in

Oct 1944. The plane failed to clear the summit by just a few feet with loss of all eight crew. 


The Scafell range above the cloud inversion looking from the crash

site 


A plaque has been put at the base of the memorial 

Lunch time looking down Greenburn sat on Great Carrs summit 

Seathwaite Tarn in the Duddon Valley as I continued along the

Coniston fells ridge.


Brim Fell and Coniston Old Man before I descended from Levers

Hause....


....to Levers Water

An easy descent then to Coniston 

passing the disused copper mines....


....and the quarries....



....followed by the Miners Bridge

By-passing the village of Coniston....
