7th time around the fabulous Fairfield Horseshoe, on a glorious sunny clear, calm autumn day, with low mist in the valleys to start. A beautiful day to be on the Lakeland Fells, with L. Overnight frost on the grass but warm in the sun then inevitably chilly in a breeze on top. Saw a lonesome foxhoud looking for its pack -peering into the corries, but ignoring us people. We heard a horn in the far distance.Chris Pearson12/10/2023

Hot and hazy, blazing sun, insects, little wind. Distant hills can be made out - Bow Fell, for instance - but only as silhouettes.NorfolkPT2108/09/2023

An easy walk today with Alma Aurea to visit one unvisited Wainwright. We walked from Grasmere, revisiting Heron Pike, Great Rigg and then back down via Stone Arthur which was the one I needed. Beautiful views on a sunny day. /Dmeltdiceburg03/09/2023
