	Coniston, Cumbria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Coniston is a village in the region of Furness, the area of Lancashire that moved into the administrative county of Cumbria, in the United Kingdom.
		Coniston grew as both a farming village, and to serve local copper and slate mines.
		Coniston is a popular spot for hill-walking and rock-climbing; there are fine walks to be had on the nearby Furness Fells and Grizedale Forest, and some of the finest rock in the Lake District on the eastern face of Dow Crag, three miles from the village.

		The summit of the Old Man is usually very crowded, but today it was eerily quiet.
		There were a couple of woman continuously walking around the summit cairn trying to keep warm, apparently behind the cairn was the rest of their party sheltering out of the wind in conversation on the mobile phone with the mountain rescue service about one of their party that had hurt her ankle.
		My 4 year old son and his mates do this all the time on the indoor football pitch, run and slide on their knees that is. As we looked on in absoulute horror John managed to slip,fall onto his back and start to slide downhill!
