A great walk in one of the quieter areas of Lakeland, Coledale. The Coledale Horseshoe is a wonderful ridge walk in the area. This is a route that can be adapted to suit all groups, let our experienced instructors take you on a circuit of the fells above Braithwaite which lend themselves to great walking and spectacular views. |

A great walk for all abilities, once up on the ridge the route can be altered to include any number of summits. From the summit of Grisedale Pike, Hopegill Head is a short walk away before descending to the wide saddle of Grisedale Hause. Here the path climbs again steeply to the summit of Crag Hill, the highest point of the walk and a wonderful viewpoint over the surrounding fells. There are views to Great Gable and the Scafells as well as a wonderful view over to the Buttermere Fells. A short walk from Crag Hill brings us down to the summit of Sail and a short descent to Sail Pass. Here we will either descend back to Braithwaite via Barrow or continue along the main ridge a little further to take in the summits of Scar Crags and the craggy summits of Causey Pike before descending back to Braithwaite. Each participant will be required to bring suitable equipment for their chosen event, please see Kit List tab above. |
