Coast-to-Coast, 13th August 1993

 

Honister Tramway

Having left our B&B at Rosthwaite earlier this morning we've climbed to the top of Honister hause and are now ascending the old tramway up to the Brandreth plateau.

We're walking west off the plateau into the head of Loft Beck, which falls rapidly to Black Sail and the head of Ennerdale.
