Coniston, Lake District OAC

Click on the thumbnails to see a larger picture.

The OAC trip to Coniston in November of 2004. The weather wasn't too bad really, if a little cloudy on the tops. Chris went up to visit the old man of Coniston, Gaz walked round Coniston Water, I went to Wetherlam and Ed just went everywhere. Amazingly he still had enough energy to run back down the hill to the pub. Toria emerged from the day with the blue OAC folder and the title 'Sock Burner General'
