The former chapel at Conistone is still owned and used by the Methodist
church but as a hostel
St Mary Conistone, a small but very old chapel
The nearer arch is Norman
A rather curious monument in the churchyard
We go back to the car for people to change into walking boots, then
go back past the church to walk up a byway
as we get higher there are extensive views
We are on the track, Scot Gate Lane, which leads across the moors
to Mossdale, the site of the UK's worst
caving accident where six men were killed by rising water back in
1967. Remebrance services are held in the
church at Coniston.
Eventuall we meet the Dales Way, but our route back to Conistone is
down a narrow gulch to the right, just
by the gate. It starts close to vertical but after a while flattens
out
though it is still quite steep and very stony
It gets flatter and grassy
but ahead is an area of scree
and past that the path disappears down a narrow gap
filled with broken rock
A narrow path has been smoothed over the years by water but is dry
now
and the path continues between high rock walls
eventually the sides become less steep and grassed and we can see
roofs ahead
and we are almost back in Conistone
