Boggy summit crossed running and navigating between checkpoint 1 & 2 (Mart Crag 544m SW top and stream junction down to NE) on Day 1 of Langdale OMM 2022 with Darren on Short Score. Going strongly so far having stormed up the steep 400m climb alongside Troughton Beck in 32mins from the start in Langdale valley floor. Darren's knees ok so far and my lingering post covid viral fatigue being finally shown what for.Chris Pearson29/10/2022

Langdale Horseshoe fell raceLittledave10/10/2015
With Kevin and Jenny after Pavey Ark. A nothing top this one - just high point of the moor. The actual crag to the SW, which has a ring contour, would have been a more worthy inclusion on the Synge list IMO. I made the high point NY 26784 08251Crib Goch30/09/2015
