Completed this one last week. It was my first Wainwright! I parked by Legburthwaite and followed the path from the south. I wish i saw this video first because that path was pants. Lots of scrambling. Thanks for the video 🐴

Just finished this route yesterday and took a 1hr trek to/fro Lonscale Fell as a 'bonus' Wainwright from Skiddaw Little Man, your recommendation of using the lesser-trodden path on the western side of Skiddaw to miss out the entirety of the climb up Skiddaw-South was very much welcome once getting to the top of Carl Side and seeing the wall of scree that was ahead.

I have unfinished business with this Horseshoe. I attempted a solo hike on 22nd July 2023, My grandpa had passed away the day before after suffering quite severely with Dementia in his last few weeks. I needed time to myself the following day to let it all sink in. Getting out on the fells is my way of resetting myself mentally and I was training fr the national 3 peaks challenge I had coming up in the September so I wanted to test myself. I started at 7:30 and the weather was wet with zero wind, 100meters up grizedale and I could only see 5-10 meters around me due to the mist. Summited Grizedale and literally stood there for five mins…….. couldn’t hear anything, no wind at all, no noise other than my breathing, it was pretty surreal to be honest. Carried onto Crag hill, soon as I got up to the bottom of that all hell broke loose, weather went crazy, was getting blown over by the wind and I tripped over a rock and I slid down towards the valley for about 10 meters however that could’ve been more or less, happened quickly, I smashed my ankle on another rock and stopped. I hadn’t seen a single sole throughout the hike and still couldn’t see anymore than 10-15 meters max in all directions. Self preservation kicked in and I went straight down literally on my arse until I reached the path. I’m going back there to finish what I started. The weather can change instantly up on the fells.

Hi there, thanks for sharing. I would love to drive this route but I have Acrophobia ( fear of heights) when hiking or climbing in mountainous terrain ! does any part of this route close to cliff? please advise.
@LakeDistrictFilmsАй бұрын
There are a couple of points where there are some slight drops near the road, but no serious cliffs. The road basically follows a valley up and another down, so you shouldn’t be exposed at any point. Worth checking out this, and our other film of the route from the other direction, before you go, to make sure. It’s not the steepest drive in the Lakes. Good luck!

I fell in love with the Lake District on my first of two crossing along the Coast to Coast way back in the mid 1980s. Derwent water away from the hustle and bustle of the road is very peacefull and relaxing, but I have only ever done it from Keswick to Borrowdale and visa versa, but later in the year I will attempt a full circuit with my trusty Canon Camera and tripod to stock up on some photographic Memories for the time I know will come when I can no longer hike the Fells, Valleys and Mountains in the area. There is nothing more relaxing for me than a two weeks ramble round the Lake District than a Lakeside stroll on my way to Borrowdale and Stonetwaite Campsite, for a weeks hiking or the hike back to Keswick to catch the Coach back to flat Essex. Now I am retired I am planning another visit this summer to recharge my Memory Banks with the scenic Beauty of Derwent Water and Borrowdale. Now I am retired I may even change from my normal camping routine at and opt for B&B. Thank You LDF for the video. Tony in Essex.

I've been visiting the lakes since 1989 on and off (more on than off) . This year will be my ninth summer holiday in a row and I never get tired it: ther are mountains, hills, woodland and forest, and of course beautiful lakes. I sometimes travel a little outside the lake district on days off from strenuous walking and go to the sea. The small town of Silloth is very pleasant if a little olde worlde-there aren't many shops but there is a cobbled main street and a sea front facing the Solway firth with a view of Scotland across the water. A little along the coast is Allonby Bay-largely deserted and peaceful but with stunning views especially of the lakeland mountains in the distance. As I say, the whole area has something for the outdoor minded person.

It's probably about an hour and a half to two hours (depending on speed). It's pretty safe, with just one section where it's a little rocky, but otherwise it's well signposted and easy to follow.

Did this walk on the weekend with the same Wainwrights ticked off. For anyone watching there’s a couple of points to note. 1) it’s bigger than you think 2) it’s steeper than you think. Wonderful views, beautiful setting, great graft on the legs but loved every second of it.
