Mosedale Horseshoe

The Mosedale Horseshoe is a celebrated mountain walk around Mosedale in the English Lake District: starting at Wasdale Head, it includes Kirk Fell, Yewbarrow, Red Pike, Scoat Fell, and Pillar. It is a circular walk of 22.5 km with a total ascent of 1150 m.

Shorter versions can be made by omitting Yewbarrow and Kirk Fell, at start and finish, and (perhaps) the summit of Scoat Fell.

Wainwright's warning
Alfred Wainwright placed the round among his dozen best lakeland ridge walks; but also warned that the full version was "an exhilarating mountain marathon for experienced fellwalkers only".
