ブレラム・ターンでののおすすめ登山＆山歩きルート

It’s a hard ride up if you’re not used to it, but it’s worth it to THUNDER down the other side 👍🤣

It says this is an easy walk in komoot. This is totally wrong. You need mountain experience and equipment. Nothing for a family afternoon walk.

Beautiful old slate bridge over the river Brathy.

grade listed bridge

The bridge was built in the 17th Century

Great place for a photo

Slater’s Bridge is a beautiful, incredibly charming, ancient packhorse bridge over the River Brathy just a short walk from Little Langdale. It is built mainly of slate, has a 15 foot (4.6 m) high main arch and includes a natural boulder midstream bridged by flat slate slabs. It is thought to have been built by local miners to access the slate quarries nearby back in the 17th century. There are fine views nearby out towards Blake Rigg and Holme Fell to the south and Lingmore Fell to the north.

There has been much debate over which is the higher: Swirl How or Coniston Old Man? They have both been comprehensively measured and are both currently 802.4m (2633ft in old money). Both measurements are accepted by the OS but the current maps show Swirl How as 802m and the Old Man as 803m. Why does it matter? Only one can be a Marilyn while the other must be classed as a Hump though they could be twin peaks. Currently the view is Coniston Old Man remains as the Marilyn and Swirl How is only a Hump. So the Historic County Top of the County Palatine of Lancashire, Coniston Old Man remains the higher. Swirl How is a very fine hill with a much more interesting ridge structure than the Old Man. Approaches from all directions are rewarding and exciting and there is a good chance you can enjoy solitude by the summit cairn which doesn’t suffer the crowds the Old Man does. Enjoy!

Great decent on rough gravel

While the Old Man of Coniston gets most of the attention, possibly in part due to its location above Coniston village, it could be argued that Swirl How is the main summit in the range. It's pretty much the Old Man's equal in height (a 2018 survey showed they were virtually the same) and is more like the central hub from which the range's ridges splay out. However, it perhaps lacks the edge-of-mountain-country drama that the Old Man enjoys.

Wetherlam is a beautiful Wainwright fell on the northeastern end of the Coniston Group's complex ridge system. It's a mighty vantage, a privileged platform for gazing out across the Scafell massif and the likes of Crinkle Crags and Bowfell. In terms of ascents, both Wetherlam Edge and Steel Edge make for beautiful, if non-technical, winter ridge walks.

Swirl How stands at 2,631 feet (802 m) at the corner between Swirl Band and the Prison Band, both of which are enjoyable run/scrambles in their own right. This summit is usually included as part of the Coniston and Wetherlam loop.

need lower gears or good legs

Steep ascent but worth the effort

Cake and hot drinks honesty stall

Good view of Little Langdale Tarn

A good spot to stop for sandwiches and coffee and admiring the view.

A giant, sprawling mountain at 2,503 ft (763 m), there are great views from the summit across to the Old Man of Coniston or over towards Langdale. Despite its size, Wetherlam is very runnable - it's not very steep but some sections are quite rocky.

Coming up from sticklebarn side is probably more scenic but MUCH steeper. I biked up the Wrynose Pass side which was only a tiny section of 25% so a lot easier. Coming down the other side with my brakes squeaking !
