Lake District Walks | The Coledale Horseshoe (a 7 Wainwright walk)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ก.ค. 2021
- There are several versions of the famous Coledale Horseshoe walk; the glorious circle of fells visible from Keswick in the English Lake District; in this one, Neil starts at Braithwaite, and visits 7 Wainwrights: Grisedale Pike, Crag Hill (Wainwright's "Eel Crag"), Sail, Scar Crags, Causey Pike, Outerside and Barrow.
At somewhere around 10 miles, and 4,429 ft, or 1,350 m of ascent, it's a big old walk, but the view of the surrounding fells is hard to beat. He didn't visit Hopegill Head, which is often included in the Coledale Horseshoe, but it's always good to save something for another day!
Even though the lockdown is easing, please continue to follow the Lake District National Park Authority guidance to Respect. Protect. Enjoy! More details can be found here: www.lakedistrict.gov.uk/visiting/countryside-code

really enjoyed that one Neil
Thanks, Terry!
great video can't wait to bag these wainwright's in a few weeks time!
Thank you! Hope you have a great day on the hills.
Another brilliant video, excellent commentary and photography - I feel like an amateur in comparison. I really love how you show the route and all the key junctions and strategic points. I always learn more about the Lake District and the fells from your videos and I always watch to the end too!! Regards, Ashley
Many thanks, Ashley. Much appreciated.
New subscriber! I found you through a search of this route that I’m planning to do on Saturday. Lovely video and you have a very nice way about you, which are the two things that influence whether I subscribe to a channel or not! Thanks and I’m looking forward to going through your content. Cheers, Simon.
Thanks, Simon. Welcome aboard! Some good new walks on their way, which hopefully you’ll enjoy. All the best.
Remember doing this with my dog Bonny, I think by the time I'd meandered I'd done 14miles, she had a GPS in her backpack and wandered 32 miles! :) Happy days. A super hot day, never been happier to see a little beck down from sand hill. :) Feet in and chugged water. Great video.
Thank you! There's nothing quite like a good beck cool down after a roasting day!
Excellent coverage of a Bucket list walk.thank you.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
Another great video, that was certainly a long walk with beautiful scenery. Keep up the good work 👍
Thanks, Carol. Glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent footage.
More please
Thanks, Andy - we're working on it!
I'm glad that you also use meters for labeling heights. Your videos are great!
Thank you! Glad you like them!
Another thoroughly enjoyable video, thank you. Great photography, very informative and witty. I did this same walk last year although I did it clockwise, included Hopegill Head and omitted Causey Pike, Outerside & Barrow, so not the same walk at all. Thank you for reading this, if indeed you still are ! regards Kevin
Thanks, Kevin! That sounds like enough of the same walk - we'll have to go back and do Hopegill Head some other time - last time, we did it from Whiteside, which is another fun expedition!
A really well done vid. This is one of my wife and I favourite walks. Started at same place as you did but included Hopegill Head as we we bagging hills. We were going to do it clockwise, but when we were at Sand Hill and saw the blood red faces of those coming up in 75° heat I was grateful for going the other way. It looked hard word as it was loose underfoot.
Thank you!
Such a great video and, as others have commented, brilliant explanation and clear showing of the route 👏🏻👏🏻 This is now on my to do list - stunning views
Glad it was helpful! Thank you!
Some gorgeous views
It's a great walk - well recommended.
Off to do this on Wednesday, thanks for the video. 🙏🏼
Thank you. Hope you enjoy it, and get a good day! Stay safe.
Great video. Really enjoyed watching the full route.
Thanks, Charlotte!
It would have been nice to have signs along the tracks so not to lose your way, but the video is lovely and I would love to hike there😊
Thank you!
What a video! Love it! I’m going to go and attempt it this weekend for this months video. I love how you present the walk and the route as a whole!
Have fun!
Another great video 👍🏼 the views are incredible 😍
Thank you! Some fantastic ridge walks on the Coledale Horseshoe!
nice walk ill defo be having a go at this one. cheers
Well worth it - hope you enjoy. There are several variations, obviously, so you can omit some hills and add others, but it’s a great day out!
Awesome, loving the channel
Awesome, thank you!
this looks like it should be our next walk when we return. and as usual the videos are inspiring and informative. is it possbile to reverse the direction and head up the Barrow first or does that make no sense? thanks for all these films.
Thank you. Yes, I’d say this can be done clockwise - ultimately there’s no particular advantage either way, with this route. Hope you have a good day for it. Let us know how you get on!
Loved this video and I’m going to attempt the horseshoe in August. Can I ask a question? Why are certain peaks/summits not considered when searching for all the peaks in the lakes. On the map of this route for example is Sand Hill and Hobcarton Crag, but they get no mention. Just wondering the rules of peak bagging as it were, for when I do the route.
Thank you! The only peaks that we tend to highlight are those that count as Wainwrights (I.e. those that Alfred Wainwright, sometimes for his own reasons, decided were worth including in his guidebooks: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Wainwrights).
This does mean that perfectly lovely hills or peaks don’t necessarily get the attention or visitors they deserve, but that’s the only logic to it. With this walk, we did not include Hopegill Head, which is a Wainwright, simply because of time, to allow the latter ones to be reached, so sometimes the only reason a peak isn’t “bagged” is logistics.
Hope that helps, and that you have a great day for it. All the best!
@@LakeDistrictFilms appreciate the reply. Love your videos!!! 😊
How long did this take you please? I'm hoping to do this in couple of weeks time
Our filming takes longer than a normal walk, but this is probably a 6-7 hour walk. Hope you have a great time!
@Lake District Films thank you for the reply, great video, subscribed and will be waiting for the next few coming, thank you
