点评:We tried to get up to the car park at the end of Walna Scar road, but chickened out with regards to the steepness and road surface. Turned out the first bit of road surface was the worst and it improved thereafter.
So instead we parked in the town and walked up the road for the first mile (and 200m or so elevation). The weather was very foggy, so the views are not a subject we can much comment on (though it's beautifully otherworldly in the fog).
The first section of the most direct route to the top of the Old Man of Coniston is relatively gentle. The hardest part is really the last km or so when you go up and up and up rather than up and flat-ish and up again.
The route is not really sign-posted, but the path is well-trodden and with a mobile phone and some signal you get a fair way.
We didn't encounter the need to scramble as other reviews have said, but maybe they've been on another path. That said: it's still a mountain with the associated risks and significant elevation.
翻译:我们试图到达 Walna Scar 路尽头的停车场,但因为路途陡峭和路面状况而退缩了。结果发现,第一段路面状况最糟糕,之后情况有所改善。
因此,我们把车停在镇上,沿着路走了第一英里(海拔 200 米左右)。天气雾很大,所以我们无法对景色做出太多评论(尽管雾中景色美得超凡脱俗)。
通往康尼斯顿老人峰顶部的最直接路线的第一部分相对平缓。最难的部分实际上是最后几公里左右,你要不断上坡,而不是上坡、平地再上坡。
这条路线没有路标,但这条路人迹罕至,只要有手机和一些信号,你就能走很远。
我们没有遇到其他评论所说的需要攀爬的情况,但也许他们走的是另一条路。尽管如此,它仍然是一座有风险且海拔较高的山。
