A repeat of the Mosedale Horseshoe from the NT Car Park. Visiting Looking Stead, Pillar, Black Crag, Scoat Fell (all 3 summits), Steeple, Red Pike (Wasdale), Black Crag, and Yewbarrow (both summits) which is proving an increasing challenge for me at the end of a big day. A glorious day in the Lakes, with extensive views across the whole LDNP. 20km with 1330m ascent in 8h 30m. | silverwolf_alan | 24/08/2023 |

Intended to go directly to Stweple, but initially unnoticed navigation error put us on course for Scoat Fell instead. Came up from Ennerdale ... large parts of walk with no path. Looked at first stage of ridge route to Steeple, but decided against it as children in tow. Went on to Haycock instead. Whole family. | Ham and Skate | 20/04/2022 |
Perfect weather with bright blue skies and sunshine. Solo from Bleach Green Cottages, Ennerdale eventually to Wasdale Head | Fionalevey | 05/03/2022 |

Quite steep a rocky descent / ascent from Pillar to reach Scoat Fell. Pretty obscure summit, but key to reaching The Steeple | philip_firth | 19/07/2021 |
