A good day on the Fairfield Horseshoe today, dry most of the day with broken cloud and some great views.

We climbed Nab Scar from Rydal, although the high tops were in cloud we had some good views over the lakes. As we climbed on towards Heron Pike the cloud began to break up, we were rarely in the cloud until on the top of Fairfield, but even here the cloud kept breaking giving us views over Helvellyn and Striding Edge, showing us what we couldn't see yesterday!

After leaving the summit we were back in the cloud until Dove Crag where te cloud once again broke giving some great views over Ullswater.

As we descended over High and Low Pike we ha some good views over Windermere, Coniston and south to Morcambe Bay. We dropped down by High Sweeden Bridge and followed the track back to Ambleside getting back to the town just before the rain started.

A wet and windy day today on the Fairfield Horseshoe, the day didn't start too bad, we were up on Great Rigg before the heavy rain set in, up until then it was just showers and drizzle on Nab Scar and Heron Pike, although we had been in the cloud from about 10 minutes after starting the climb above Rydal.

We continued over Great Rigg and up to the summit of Fairfield stopping in the shelter at the summit for a very short break before heading on. We crossed the head of the valley to Hart Crag and Dove Crag, the wind was very strong on this stretch, before descending the long ridge over High Pike and Low Pike.

As we descended from Low Pike to High Sweeden Bridge we began to get views over Ambleside and Windermere. The rapids below High Sweeden Bridge were pretty impressive. We descended the track from the bridge back down to Ambleside.

A great day on the Helvellyn Ridge today, we climbed from Dunmail Raise quickly into low cloud and intermittent rain, taking the direct path towards Seat Sandal which was hard work on the wet grass.

The clouds occasionally broke giving us views over Grasmere and Thirlmere before quickly closing in again.

There were no views from the summit of Seat Sandal today so we pressed on, descending to Grisedale Tarn before climbing the zig-zags to Dollywaggon Pike, as we reached the ridge the clouds broke giving us wonderful views in most directions.

We continued along the ridge over Nethermost Pike before climbing to the summit of Helvellyn, stopping in the summit shelter for our sandwiches.

As we sat eating our sandwiches another rain cloud blew in, giving a hail shower this time as we sett off again, it didn't last long and passed by the time we were descending from Helvellyn Lower Man.

As we followed the ridge north over Whiteside and Raise the wind increased getting quite strong as we climbed Stybarrow Dodd.

We avoided all the showers during the afternoon and followed the ridge over the remaining Dodds, Watson's Dodd and Great Dodd before descending to Calfhow Pike and climbing the last slope to Cough Head.

We descended over White Pike to the Coach Road and down to the Threlkeld Cricket Club and into the village.

A long but great days walking.

A good day on the Fairfield Horseshoe, from Ambleside we crossed the fields to Rydal Hall climbing the steep path onto Nab Scar, the first peak of the day.

The views were great, most of the summits were below the cloud level and we had clear views over Grasmere, Rydal and south over Windermere.

From Nab Scar we followed the ridge climbing to the summits of Heron Pike and then Great Rigg, a little rain was falling as we climbed Great Rigg, we pressed on to climb to the summit of Fairfield, stopping in one of the shelters to eat our packed lunches before pressing on, crossing to the summit of Hart Crag and then onto Dove Crag.

We descended the ridge over High Pike and Low Pike, the rain returning in patches as we descended from Low Pike to High Sweeden Bridge and followed the track back above Scandale Beck to Ambleside.

A good day on The Fairfield Horseshoe today.

We set off just after 10am from Ambleside following the track to Rydal Hall and climbed the steep slope up Nab Scar,  there was a little patchy low cloud this morning which gave some impressive views over Windermere, Rydal Water and Grasmere as we climbed over Nab Scar and followed the ridge over Heron Pike and up to Great Rigg.

As we climbed towards Fairfield the cloud broke on all but the highest fells to the west and we sat and ate our packed lunches in the summit shelter with a magnificent view over the Far Eastern Fells.

After lunch we continued south along the ridge crossing the summit of Hart Crag to Dove Crag and followed the long gentle ridge down over High Pike and Low Pike descending to High Sweeden Bridge and following the track back to Ambleside, back into town just after 4pm.

A cloudy grey day on the Fairfield Horseshoe today, we set off from Ambleside at 9am and followed the track to Rydal Hall climbing the steep slopes to Nab Scar. It wasn't long before we were in the cloud, seeing very little from then on.

We followed the ridge from Nab Scar over Heron Pike to Great Rigg, from here on we were walking on good snow, much crisper than on Wednesday.

We climbed to the summit of Fairfield and sat in the summit shelter to eat our sandwiches, watching a few people appear and then quickly disappear in the mist.

From Fairfield we continued to follow the horseshoe route, crossing to Hart Crag and then Dove Crag, as we descended towards High Pike we dropped below the snow line onto the damp grassy slopes below, and as we descended from High Pike to Low Pike we dropped below the cloud to get some murky views over Windermere and Ambleside.

We dropped down from the ridge to High Sweeden Bridge and followed the track back to Ambleside.

A great day on The Fairfield Horseshoe today. After a damp start the weather quickly improved and by the time we had climbed Nab Scar the drizzle had turned to sunshine.

We followed the ridge from Nab Scar along the ridge over Heron Pike and Great Rigg to the summit of Fairfield. There was a strong northerly wind on the summits today, quite cold and gusty at times and a light dusting of snow on the higher summits, there seemed to be a little more snow to the west on Bowfell and the Scafell Range.

We stopped in the Fairfield summit shelter to eat our sandwiches before following the ridge over Hart Crag and Dove Crag following the long ridge down over High Pike and Low Pike in bright sunshine and dropping down to High Sweden Bridge and following the track back to Ambleside.

A great day on the Fairfield Horseshoe today with good views all day.

We followed the track by Rydal Hall to climb the steep slopes of Nab Scar, with great views south over Windermere and down over Rydal Water.

The ridge continued north crossing Heron Pike and Great Rigg before climbing to the summit of Fairfield. We made good time along the ridge reaching the summit of Fairfield in good time for lunch, stopping in the summit shelter to get out of the fairly strong wind and admire the panoramic views before continuing to cross the summits of Hart Crag and Dove Crag.

We descended the long southern ridge of Dove Crag, crossing the summits of High Pike and Low Pike with great views ahead of us over Windermere throughout.

From Low Pike we dropped down to High Sweeden Bridge and followed the track back to Ambleside.

Really nice day on the Fairfield Horseshoe. From Ambleside, we walked along to Rydal Hall then steeply up to Nab Scar.  We then followed the ridge over Heron Pike and Great Rigg to Fairfield where we stopped for lunch.

After a bite to eat and time spent taking photos, we wandered over to Hart Crag and Dove Crag before descending over High Pike and Low Pike before returning to Ambleside.

Weatherwise, it was also a good day, being dry with good visibility for the duration.

At 9am this morning I met Paul in Ambleside, to head up and do the very scenic and fantastic Fairfield Horseshoe. We set off from the car park, and within minutes we were going the wrong way! It seems my navigation around towns is not quite what it is on the mountains! Good thing im an ML and not a SAT-NAV! (Especially as we were finding the road that leads onto a footpath up to High Sweden Bridge, and walked past a road called Sweden Bridge Lane, oooops!!!) Anywho, with this slight error quickly corrected we were soon on the track up towards High Sweden Bridge. The day was already starting to be warm and it was looking like it was going to be a great one. We were soon over High Sweden Bridge and heading up the hillside to meet the long wall that runs north for a few kilometers. We took in Low Pike and High Pike, and then enjoyed the flatter ascent towards Dove Crag. By now the day was hot and the odd passing cloud gave us a few seconds relief from the sun. We continued over Hart Crag and by 12.00 we were on the summit of Fairfieild looking across to the central fells eating our lunches. We soon cracked on and took in Great Rigg and Rydal Fell. It was in this section of the walk Paul offered me a drink when we got back to Ambleside, I said 'Yeah, that'd be great' whilst holding my back. I continued to say 'I could really do with a massage', at which point Paul replied with something along the lines of 'there are some things I won't do for you Matt'...Classic! We were soon over Heron Pike and were descending towards Rydal via Nab Scar. Another bit of 'in town' navigation was about to be needed, Uh-oh! But this time it went much smoother and we made it back to the cars, phew! Another thouroughly enjoyable day with great company, cheers Paul! The Fairfield Horseshoe is truley a classic walk and it is obvious to see why Wainwright loved it so much.

A great day on the Fairfield Horseshoe today, despite the mist!

We set off about 9am from our shop in Ambleside and made our way easily out of town and to Rydal along the track that runs through Rydal Park. We reached Rydal and set on up the steepest part of the walk, up the southern face of Nab Scar. The path weaves its way up the steep fellside, and we ascended into the mist. The forecast was also showing strong winds and rain but at this time we only had the mist to contend with. As we climbed higher and higher we took in Heron Pike, Great Rigg and then finally ascended the final slope onto the summit plateau. We bagged the summit of Fairfield by which time the wind was whipping up and the rain had set in. We made our way off to the east through the thick mist and descended to Link Hause before again climbing over the rocky summit of Hart Crag. As we descended we met the long wall that was to guide us down the eastern spur of the horseshoe. We were again on the ascent and not before too long we had summited Dove Crag and then turned south to start our long descent. We stayed the left and slightly boggier side of the wall, but it was acting as a fantastic windbreak. We bagged High Pike shortly followed by Low Pike, and then the path forked and we descended down to the lovely High Sweden Bridge. Now finally out of the mist we got to enjoy views across to Rydal Water and to Windermere. We arrived back in Ambleside a little wind swept but having had a great day out on the fells.

An amazing day on the Lakeland classic that is The Fairfield Horseshoe.

After meeting Terry and Carol at our shop in Ambleside, we set off through Ambleside and towards Rydal Park. We made our way through Rydal Park, enjoying a warm morning, and watching the low cloud slowly rise off of Nab Scar. After passing Rydal Mount we were now on the steep climb up towards Nab Scar. As we climbed the views opened up nicely. We had great views over Windermere, Coniston Water, Rydal Water and Grasmere. We summited Nab Scar and then the gradient eased as we climbed towards Heron Pike. As we climbed towards Heron Pike we seemed to be chasing the cloud up the fellside which was a nice suprise. We enjoyed the views until we summited Great Rigg. Now in the cloud we headed up the final climb to the windswept summit of Fairfield.

We didn't linger on the summit long as it was a bit chilly, so we continued along the ridge to Hart Crag. Along the way we found a nice sheltered spot in which we had some lunch. After lunch we climbed over Hart Crag, and then the cloud really started to lift. This produced some amazing views, especially down into the quiet Deepdale Valley. We followed the wall up to Dove Crag which provided great views over Windermere again. The cloud was now lifting higher and higher by the minute all across the Lakes, and we started picking out some of the major fells. We descended by the wall down the gentle grass slope over High Pike and Low Pike before descending to High Sweden Bridge.

We enjoyed a nice rest by the bridge in the sun before finishing off this great route on the fine track that runs back into Ambleside.

A great day on the Lakeland classic that is The Fairfield Horseshoe.

After meeting the group at our shop in Ambleside, we set off through Ambleside and towards Rydal Park. We made our way through Rydal Park and could feel the weather was a bit cooler than the previous days, but nonetheless it was clear. After passing Rydal Mount we were now on the steep climb up towards Nab Scar.  As we climbed the views became more and more impressive, and we had great views over Windermere, Coniston Water, Rydal Water and Grasmere. We summited Nab Scar and then the gradient eased as we climbed towards Heron Pike. As we climbed towards Heron Pike we got hit by the winds and our first hail storm, but we were sure this would just pass through. We enjoyed the views  as we made our way to the summit of Great Rigg. All feeling a bit low on fuel we stopped for a bite to eat out of the wind before taking on the easy climb to the windswept summit of Fairfield.

We ducked into the shelter to dodge a hail storm but as it was a bit chilly we didnt stop for longer than needed!m We battled our along the very windswept ridge to Hart Crag abnd then we  followed the wall up to Dove Crag which provided great views over Windermere again.  We descended by the wall down the gentle grass slope over High Pike and Low Pike in the warm sun before descending to High Sweden Bridge.

We enjoyed an easy descent back into town on the fine track from the bridge.

A great but soggy day climbing Fairfield from Patterdale today.

I met James and Louise, newlyweds as of saturday (Congrats!) at the Patterdale Hotel, and their mini-moon activity of the day was to take on Fairfield!

We started the day, in the rain, by walking along the roadside to the Deepdale Bridge, from where we crossed the fields and started climbing onto the massive grassy spur that is Hartsop Above How. As we climbed alongside the wall we seemed to be chasing the cloud up the hill and our views continued to get better and better. Unfortunately this ' last forever, and shortly after summiting Hartsop Above How we were in the cloud. By now the rain had eased, but we were feeling the force of a strong easterly wind. We climbed the steep eastern flank of Hart Crag and onto its rocky summit.

We left the summit almost immediately, but just before Link Hause we found a sheltered spot in which we had a bite to eat. After our lunch we climbed onto the slopes of Fairfield. Along this section the wind was super strong, but nonetheless we made great progress to the summit. On the summit we met the only other walkers of the day!

From the summit of Fairfield we descended to the north down the steep rocky slope onto the ridge that leads to Cofa Pike, a small little rocky lump. From this summit we descended under the cloud to Deepdale Hause. The route would usually now climb over St Sunday's Crag, but based on the winds we opted to descend into the secluded Deepdale Valley.

This decision was not disapointing as we gained amazing views of the northern buttresses of Fairfield, as well as 'The Step', a spur that sticks out with sheer cliff faces on 3 of its sides. We enjoyed this long walk out past the waterfalls and these great cliffs. The path brought us back to the road, and a short walk took us back to our start point.

A fantastic route, and one that deffinitely gives The Fairfield Horseshoe a run for its money!! Amazing!

A damp day on the Fairfield Horseshoe today.

We set off from Ambleside at 10am and folllowed the Coffin Route to Rydal, climbing the steep slope of Nab Scar in good time.

There were a few drops of light rain as we climbed the track to Nab Scar, but nothing too bad, and most of the high fells were out of cloud, although there was some low cloud approaching from the south. As we climbed to the summit of Heron Pike the cloud base descended and shortly after leaving Heron Pike we were in the cloud.

From now on we were in thick cloud but we made good progress, crossing Great Rigg and reaching the summit of Fairfield at 12.45.

After a short lunch stop in the summit shelter we headed off again, crossing Hart Crag to Dove Crag before descending the long ridge over High Pike and Low Pike, dropping back out of the cloud just below Low Pike and following the path back to Ambleside by High Sweden Bridge.

A great day on the Helvellyn Ridge today.

We set off from Dunmail Raise at 10am, climbing by Raise Beck in quickly improving weather, by the time we were on the summit of Seat Sandal the bad weather had cleared most of the summits and there were some great views.

As we climbed from Grisedale Tarn up onto the summit of Dollywaggon Pike the weather was looking great, only the summit of Great Gable was in cloud now.

We crossed the summit of Nethermost Pike and climbed to the summit of Helvellyn, stopping for lunch in the wind shelter by the summit cairn before continuing north, crossing Lower Man and following the ridge to the summits of White Side and Raise before crossing Sticks Pass and climbing onto Stybarrow Dodd.

As we crossed Watsons Dodd and Great Dodd the temperatures increased and we were now in sunshine descending over Clough Head and down by White Pike to meet the Old Coach Road and down to Threlkeld.

A great day on The Fairfield Horseshoe.

After meeting the group at our shop in Ambleside, we set off through Ambleside and towards Rydal Park. We made our way through Rydal Park and could see the little cloud that was around was clearing nicely. After passing Rydal Mount we were now on the steep climb up towards Nab Scar.  As we climbed the views became more and more impressive, and we had great views over Windermere, Coniston Water, Rydal Water and Grasmere. We summited Nab Scar and then the gradient eased as we climbed towards Heron Pike.  We continued to make great progress as we made our way to the summit of Great Rigg. Ready for lunch we pressed on and decided to stop in the shelter on the summit of Fairfield.

After lunch we headed along the back stretch to Hart Crag and then we  followed the wall up to Dove Crag which provided great views over Windermere again.  We descended by the wall down the gentle grass slope over High Pike and Low Pike in the warm sun before descending to High Sweden Bridge. From the bridge we followed the good track back into Ambleside.

Another fantastic weekend of toughing it out on the 24 Peaks Challenge in 24 Hours.

On Saturday morning I met the group in Buttermere, and after a few minutes of finalising kit we were on our way (8.17am). The start of the challenge is not a kind one as we got straight into the climb by heading up the steep steps leading to Red Pike. We made great progress up this steep climb, despite intentionally taking it easier as to not burn out. After the final scramble we were on the summit of Red Pike after 1 hour and 20 minutes. There was a bit of mist on the Buttermere Fells but there was more over towards Great Gable where we would be heading later.

From Red Pike we followed the ridge and a short climb brought us up to summit number 2, High Stile. From High Stile another ridge walk brought us quickly onto summit 3, High Crag. With 3 summits in the bag within a couple of hours we now had a large descent to deal with. We descended the steep slope of Gamlin End before heading across Scarth Gap. From here we scrambled quickly up the slope to the summit of Haystacks, unfortunately not one of the 24 peaks!

We headed south from Haystacks past Inominate Tarn and weaved our way around the many tarns and outcrops before joining the track that climbs up to the Moses Trod Path. We joined this path for a short while before cutting off to hoin the northern slope of Green Gable. A short drag up into the mist brough us summit number 4, Green Gable. Great Gable soon followed as we headed across windy gap and up over the boulders to its windswept summit. We didnt linger long as we were planning on having Lunch at Styhead pass. We reached Styhead Pass after the knee crunching descent and the break was very well received!

After the break we were back on the ascent and we made our way up the Corridor Route to the summit of Lingmell. We were still climbing really well and focused on now reaching the highest summit in England. The group continued to climb well and after about 20 minutes we were on the summit of Scafell Pike. We were lucky enough to have some views so we took a moment to soak them up before heading onto our next peak. We crossed Broad Crag Col follwed by Broad Crag and Ill Crag before a short ascent brought us up to Great End. We continued with great pace across Esk Hause and summited Esk Pike shortly after. 9 down, 1 to go. We crossed Ore Gap and picked our way through the boulders and onto the summit of Bowfell.

With all of Day 1's peaks done we now just had to descend, and we had 1 hour 30 to get to the bottom to do it in 12 hours. We descended to the Three Tarns before turning east and joining The Band. We walked very quickly down the good path and we got to the bottom at about 12 hours exactly!

The alarm clock went off way too soon on Sunday morning, but we had some unfinished business to attend to, so out of bed we had to get! Unfortunately 3 of the 10 were unable to continue onto day 2 of the challenge.

After meeting in Ambleside at 7am we got our lift to the Kirkstone Pass, a great place to start the second day as its 350m above sea level. However, despite having a head start the first slope up Red Screes was by no means an easy one. We set off and the sun was already breaking through the patchwork of clouds, it was looking like a good day. We actually made amazing progress up this steep slope and we were on the summit after just 35 minutes.

We took a few minutes to have a breather on the summit, but then we made our way across the grassy slopes to Dove Crag. Hart Crag and Fairfield followed soon after. With just over 2 hours gone we were now on the toughest section of the day. We descended down the steep western side of Fairfield before climbing the very steep slope on the side of Seat Sandal. From this summit we had to descend straight away. Back in the col we chose to take the steep runners path up to the summit of Dollywagon Pike, this was hard work, but once again the group climbed well.

We were now onto the easier section of the walk and the summits would start to come much quicker. After Dollywagon Pike we took in Nethermost Pike, Helvellyn, White Side and Raise. We had just 3 summits left and we seemed to be walking better than ever. It had been windier across these last few summits, but the sun was starting to come out again. We cracked on to the Dodds, and we had soon taken in Stybarrow Dodd, Great Dodd and our final summit, Watson's Dodd. We had done it, all we had to do was descend down to the roadside.

We descended down the grassy slope towards Castle Rock, and after passing the rock face we had made it to the roadside. John met us at the bottom and produced some champagne to celebrate our success. We had managed to complete the second day in just 8 hours 20 minutes, brining our total time to 20 hours and 20 minutes! Well done Chaps!!

A great walk from Patterdale today climbing Fairfield by Hartsop Above How and then descending over St Sundays Crag.

Although the high tops were in cloud we had a good day and some good views on the slopes of Hartsop Above How and then again as we descended over Arnison Crag.

From Paterdale we followed the road down to Deepdale Bridge and took the path up onto the Hartsop Above How ridge, there were some good views over Patterdale and across the valley towards the Far Eastern Fells as we climbed this long ridge eventually going into the cloud around the summit of Hartsop Above How.

We pressed on, climbing the steep slopes at the head of the ridge to the summit of Hart Crag, the visibility here was poor and there was a cool breeze so we dropped down below the summit out of the wind to eat our sandwiches before pressing on to the summit of Fairfield.

The steep descent over Cofa Pike was negotiated with little difficulty and we were soon at Deepdale Hause and again on the climb up to Saint Sundays Crag, after a short stop and a bout of cramp we were off again and at the summit of St Sundays Crag, we dropped down by Gavel Pike to pick up the pleasant path down towards Birks, crossing the grassy summit ridge of Birks quickly and then dropping down east to Trough Head and out onto the final ridge to the summit of Arnison Crag. By now we were below the cloud again and had some wonderful views as we descended back to Patterdale.

A great day today on the Deepdale Horseshoe from Patterdale.

We set off from Patterdale just after 9.30 and followed the road south to Deepdale Bridge and followed the ridge up by Gale Crag climbing eventually to the summit of Hartsop Above How.

By now we were in pretty thick cloud, although there  were a few breaks we had the odd good view across Deepdale towards St Sundays Crag.

We followed the ridge west climbing to the summit of Hart Crag where we stopped for a short lunch break.

After lunch we continued, this time north climbing to the summit of Fairfield, our highest point of the day and after a quick photo stop at the summit were off again, descending the rocky ridge over Cofa Pike to Deepdale Hause and then up again, this time onto the summit of Saint Sunday Crag.

A short descent to the east towards Gavel Pike brought us down onto the good path above Gavel Moss and out onto the summit of Birks, our final summit of the day from where we dropped down Thornhow End and onto the path back towards Patterdale.

Another great day today on the Fairfield Horseshoe.

We left Ambleside a little after 9am today and headed out on the Fairfield Horseshoe, following the Coffin Route to Rydal before heading up the steep slopes of Nab Scar.

We were soon at the top of Nab Scar with some wonderful views down over Rydal Water and Grasmere and as far south as Blackpool Tower!

From Nab Scar we followed the ridge north over the summits of Heron Pike and Great Rigg before climbing to the summit of Fairfield. There was a slight dusting of snow on the high tops today and quite a chilly breeze on the summit of Fairfield as we sat and ate our lunches in the wind shelter.

After lunch we crossed the head of the horseshoe to the summits of Hart Crag and Dove Crag, two showers just missed us as we descended from Dove Crag towards High Pike and then down to Low Pike, dropping down to High Sweden Bridge.

As we followed the track back to Ambleside we got caught in our first shower of the day, but it didn't last too long and we were soon descending into Ambleside in the dry.

A glorious day on the Fairfield Horseshoe today.

We set off from Ambleside at 9am and headed out of town on the Rydal Road, shortly turning off onto the track to Rydal Hall.

From Rydal Hall we climbed the steep path up Nab Scar, the views this morning were wonderful, there was a mist over Windermere and blue sky and snow capped mountains.

From Nab Scar We followed the ridge over Heron Pike and up onto Great Rig before reaching the summit of Fairfield.

After a short lunch top on the summit of Fairfield we were off again, crossing to the summit of Hart Crag and then Dove Crag, following the wonderful ridge down over High Pike and Low Pike and then down by High Sweden BRidge back to Ambleside, getting back to the village just before dark.

A great day today climbing The Fairfield Horseshoe.

We set off from The Lake District Walker Shop in Ambleside at 9am and followed the road to the start of the Coffin Route, taking us to Rydal Hall and the start of the climb up Nab Scar. The forecast weather of low cloud didn't materialise this morning and we were in sunshine all the way up the steep climb to Nab Scar and then along the ridge to Heron Pike. From Heron Pike we followed the ridge north to the summit of Great Rigg and then up the long drag to the summit of Fairfield.

There was quite a chilly breeze on the summit of Fairfield today, we stopped in the wind shelter to admire the views over Helvellyn and eat our sandwiches before pressing on, crossing to the summits of Hart Crag and Dove Crag before descending the long ridge over High Pike and Low Pike dropping down to High Sweden Bridge and following the track back to Ambleside, getting back just after 3pm.
