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_alan24/08/2023
