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
