Name of walk	Beacon Tarn & Wool Knott
Date of walk	2024-01-12

After nearly a month of bronchitis over the run up to Christmas and New Year, and missing out on all those blue sky days and snow, I was determined to walk up a little hill. So I coughed and wheezed my way up to Wool Knott which overlooks Beacon Tarn. We parked at Blawith Common. It is a short walk that takes minimal effort but with superb mountain views. The walk took two hours.

I felt better for getting out of the house and up a hill!
