The August bank holiday weekend in 2019 caught me off guard with its heatwave. I was in the Lakes with some friends for a few days and we decided to hike Coniston Old Man making our way there via Brown Pike, Buck Pike and Dow Crag, coming back via the very touristy copper mines. The heat made this walk so much more exhausting, but it was a thoroughly enjoyable day.
I hope you enjoy the video walk report.
Warning
Please note that hillwalking when there is snow lying requires an ice-axe, crampons and the knowledge, experience and skill to use them correctly. Summer routes may not be viable or appropriate in winter. See winter information on our skills and safety pages for more information.
