The Kentmere Horseshoe from Kentmere in an anticlockwise direction visiting 9 Wainwrights: Shipman Knots, Kentmere Pike, Harter Fell, Mardale Ill Bell, High Street, Thornthwaite Crag, Froswick. Ill Bell, and Yoke. A fine and partially sunny Boxing Day, with very fine snow showers. Certainly a nice change from heavy rain and storm force winds of recent days! 22km with 1200m ascent, taking 7h40m.silverwolf_alan26/12/2023
Longsleddale Horseshoe with Jim, Jus and Cat from the (limited!) parking at Sadgill, via Shipman Knotts, Goat Scar, Kentmere Pike, Harter Fell, Little Harter Fell and Adam Seat. Visibility about 20 yards - good to be able to follow the fence throughout! Easy, grassy walking all the way, managed to get round just about before torrential rain arrived.wheresthepath30/09/2023

There are good steps over the wall on Kentmere Pike to access the trig. Theres good stile over the fence on Goat Scar to reach the lower viewpoint. I wonder why there is no easy way to get over the wall to the high point on Shipman Knotts. Solo. W180 Rnd6. Climbed the unnamed 376m summit, at the head of the pass, on the way down to Sadgill.Dangerous Dave23/09/2021

Back home! Getting reacquainted with familiar hills of old having just moved to live in Kendal. With L an early 8am start to beat the sunday crowds. Beautiful calm dry late summer morning with promise of a sunny day. Kemtmere is so quiet and calm and rugged and beautiful. As AW mentions Shipman Knotts is very rocky - with little rock steps even on the path up from the BW crossing from Kentmere to Sadgill. Noticeable how Green Quarter fell to the S is totally rock and crag free - a change in geology I guess? 4 black fell ponies monolith still watched us from up high.Chris Pearson05/09/2021
