Fairfield Horseshoe

Me and the boy wonder scooted around the Fairfield Horseshoe from Rydal on Saturday in absolutely fantastic conditions; not too cold, not too windy and, for the back half, the sun came out too! I love this ten mile loop up one ridge line to Fairfield summit, along a bit, down the next ridge line and along the bottom to finish. And, although it includes a good 3,000 feet of climb, a run is exactly what it is (for me and Haz anyway) all the way round with all the hills just about being runnable (the first two miles are the worst).

Okay the first stile's not runnable :)

Fairfield ahoy!

Looking back down the valley between ridge lines with Windermere in the distance

Still some snow clinging on in places

The 4 mile descent is especially enjoyable!

Washing off time

Good boy!
