Heading back to Monk Coniston A walking party on the grit-path heading for the HF country hotel at Monk Coniston. The path is unusual in that it's mapped specifically as a bridleway rather than it being assumed to be a path conventionally adjacent to a motor road.

Guards Wood Most of the trees seen here in the wood remain standing but over the summit area of the hill devastation was caused by Storm Arwen at the end of November 2021 and probably by subsequent winter storms. Ramorum disease had already affected trees there which were being removed by the National Trust.

Damage to trees  at summit of High Guards High Guards is a low, wooded hill close to Coniston. The hillwalker is at its summit which was devastated by Storm Arwen at the end of November 2021 and probably by subsequent winter storms. A path crosses the hill going close to the summit but its route is blocked by many windthrown trees; much detouring and clambering is required to make the crossing.

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.
