Coniston: Part 1 of 3

It was a warm and sunny day when I visited Coniston, as can be seen in this view looking along Yewdale Road. 
Before walking to the lake, I had to be fortified with one of my favourite ales from the Coniston Brewery, namely, 'Barley Wine No.9.'  At 8.5% it is to be sipped and savoured!
Suitably refreshed! The start of the walk to the lake at Coniston.

Steam yacht 'Gondola' was at the pier awaiting departure.

Intricate carving on the bow of 'Gondola.'
With a slight breeze and a warm day, it was perfect for a spot of sailing on Coniston Water.  

A few 'locals' out and about.
