Coledale Horseshoe

Walked on 18/11/2004

Start point: Braithwaite (NY 227 237)

Braithwaite – Kinn (209) – Grisedale Pike (210) – Hobcarton Head (211) –  Hopegill Head (212)– Sand Hill (213) – Coledale Hause – Crag Hill (214) – Sail (215) – Scar Crags (216) – Causey Pike(217) – Outerside (218) – Stile End (219) – Barrow (220) – Braithwaite

Weather: Snow from the ascent of Grisedale Pike.

Today’s walk takes in a circuit of the Coledale Fells. The weather conditions didn’t look too promising from the valley, but it wasn’t so bad considering. The snowy, wintery conditions made a pleasant change from the recent downpours.
