DavidFor #ThrowbackThursday, the summit of the Old Man of Coniston. Every summit in the Lake District is marked with a cairn like this.
.
As Alfred Wainwright notes, the Old Man is especially "scarred" by mining, but is a popular, accessible climb and a scenic one if you take the right route. My earlier attempt to climb it was defeated by Lakes weather.
