The Fairfield Horseshoe
From Ambleside we will follow the Rydal Road a short distance before crossing the fields to Rydal. A steep ascent will then lead onto Nab Scar. 

A long but easy walk will then lead along the ridge to the summit of Fairfield.

We will continue along the ridge to Hart Crag and Dove Crag before the long descent over High Pike and Low Pike before descending to High Sweden Bridge and the track back into Ambleside.

Although this is one of our longer routes after the first steep climb it is a fairly easy ridge walk, although long. We do however take it gently, we have all day to complete the walk!

Red Screes
From Ambleside a short walk up the Kirkstone road will bring us to our path, climbing the long but gentle southern ridge of Red Screes, first by the summit of Snarker Pike to the dramatic summit of Red Screes.

With steep drops to the north and west of the summit the views from the summit of Red Screes are magnificent.

From Red Screes there is an option to descend north over Smallthwaite Band to the satellite top of Middle Dodd before descending west to Scandale Pass.

The summits of Little Hart Crag and High Hartsop Dodd are just a short detour from the pass for those collecting the summits, but the descent from Scandale Pass south to Scandale Bottom and following the track south by Scandale Beck to High Sweeden Bridge and back along the track to Ambleside.

Each participant will be required to bring suitable equipment for their chosen event, please see Kit List tab above.
