CUHWC Coniston Trip

21st November 2008 to 23rd November 2008

The last CUHWC trip of term was to the Coniston Fells, staying at the Tranearth bunkhouse. I did two very good walks, on the Coniston Fells themselves on Saturday, and on the much-less-frequented but very attractive Dunnerdale Fells on Sunday. Add to that an excellent evening of cooking, eating, singing and games and it made a particularly enjoyable weekend trip!
