Despite it being the darkest least wholesome part of the year, it gets pretty when the sun helps out.

Putting the Stoney into Stoney Littleton.

Saying goodbye whilst driving away.

Looking over the diminutive stones of Bleaberry Haws to the Old Man, they’re not diminutive they’re just right.

Looking north east, the summit cairn is just over the brow of the hill.

Looking over the circle to the Old Man of Coniston

Looking west along the wide ridge of Bleaberry Haws to Duddon estuary, the stones are on the right.

Follow the quarry road until it hairpins left, step over low point in wall and make for the higher ground with light green grass. just keep going for the top of the hill, the stone circle will appear to your left, near the top.

The Old Man of Coniston looms above the cairn.

Looking over the opened cairn to the ring cairn, the ring cairn is directly below the white house.

Looking over the ring cairn to the summit cairn of Bleaberry Haws.

The ring cairn and the Old man

The Dyke running across the lower edge of the picture, with the opened cairn just beyond it, and The Old Man of Coniston is the big mountain. Dictionary says a Dyke or Dike is like a dam but only has water on one side, see any water?

First view of the northern of the three cairns having just walked a couple hundred yards to the top of the hill from Sammy’s Bratfull.

The larger northern of the three cairns

Ooooh

The northern of the three cairns with Seatallan beyond.

The north cairn, the largest of the three in a row, with the sea view.

The northern of the three cairns

The large central cairn of the three in a row, with I think Seatallan on the right.

Looking over the central of the three cairns towards the northern cairn and Caw Fell.

The central of the three cairns, Sampson’s Bratfull is just over the near hill.

The central of the three cairns and it’s expansive sea view, on a clear day you should be able to see the Isle of Man.

The central of the three cairns

The southern most of the three cairns, and it’s exciting mountain view.

The southern most of the three cairns, with the central cairn beyond.

The central cairn crowns the horizon

One of the others

Another one of the others.

Looking west-ish over the long cairn to the Irish sea.

Looking north west over the long cairn to Boat How.

Caw fell peeps over the near horizon

Looking north west along it’s axis.

At about 70 feet long it’s big enough to hold three of these excavation holes.
