Eastern side of Tarn Hows Tarn Hows is an archetypal Lake District location close to the village of Coniston. It's partly an artificial creation, the result of damming one of three tarns to create a larger feature.

Obstructions to path descending through Guards Wood Much damage was caused in Guards Wood by Storm Arwen at the end of November 2021 and probably by subsequent winter storms. The summit area of High Guards, the hill on which the wood grows, was badly affected and difficult to access - <a title="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7115398" href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7115398">Link</a> . The path crossing the hill was equally affected by windthrown trees. The awkwardness caused by the two trees across the path in this image was trivial by comparison.
