Fairfield Horseshoe - Ambleside to Fairfield via Nab Scar, Heron Pike, Great Rigg Man, returning over Hart and Dove Crag then High and Low Pike |
|
Weather on the Fells can change rapidly ... up-to-date weather on 0870 0550575 |
|
The walk started from the car-park at the northern end Ambleside on the Keswick road. (Rather expensive unless you can get around the circuit in under 4 hours!) |
