Weatherlam

Weatherlam lies off the main ridge of the Coniston group to the west. The views from the summit are among the finest in the Lake District, with a pleasant mix of woodland, pasture, lake and fell spread out before you. The traverse from Swirl How, over Swirl Hause to Weatherlam is quite an interesting route. The decent is steep and rough on quite a narrow ridge. On the ascent back up to Weatherlam the path becomes sketchy, meandering round and over various knolls and false summits before finally emerging onto the summit plateau.
