On the Bannisdale Horseshoe. This little hill is a key point btw valley heads and ridges. I was delighted to find a clear ATV to follow the way I wanted to go to Long Crag. It was great to the AW summit but no trace in the mire ahead so I went round the long (and still serious bog in places) way by the walls to Long Crag. | pwheeler | 01/03/2022 |
A short flat path following the wall we made it to Ancrow Brow North with the summit cairn on the opposite side of the fence | Scotty 2 Hotty | 24/07/2021 |

Bannisdale horseshoe 5th of 10 | Alan Caine | 29/08/2017 |
WOs 98-104; Bs 83-90. A lovely sunny day so went for the Bannisdale horseshoe which proved much easier than W suggests because of good paths most of the way. Joyce with me up Whiteside Pike, then sunbathed as the rest too boring and picked me up at Dryhowe Bridge. Good path on to Todd Fell, Capplebarrow and nameless top but bad bog before and after Long Crag (summit beyond wall) and rough tussocks down from The Forest and over Lamb Pasture. Shoulder high bracken descending directly from Lamb Pasture to Dryhowe Bridge. A very satisfying day for 9 WOs and 8 Bs. | BURGESS | 13/08/2017 |
Added onto the Crookdale horse shoe. | BobHancock | 01/07/2017 |
