Long trek to summit
by Fergalh 13 Jan 2021
From the centre of Coniston I followed signpost and lane alongside the river initially. Eventually it turned into a track and slowly it started to get steeper and steeper as it wound its way up the hill . Due to cloud I missed most of the famous views. The summit is marked by a large cairn and a brick trig pillar Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/B2634/comment/22059/

Early start advised to miss the crowds
by Fergalh 13 Jan 2021
As this is one of the more popular climbs in the Lake district where you park needs some planning. I climbed on a very wet bad weather day and still had to park way out of coniston on a side road. Even though the weather was bad it was busy on the track Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/B2634/comment/22060/

We went up from the Bridia valley, which is an extremely steep ascent and not for anyone prone to vertigo. Although the summit is achieved in a short distance, the climb/scramble requires car...

To climb Slioch, involves a round trip of 21km, with almost 2000m of ascent above Loch Maree, amidst a stunning location.
