Lake district, Fairfield HorseShoe, extended.

Decided to do the Fairfield Horseshoe today as the weather was a vast improvement on the last attempt. I decided to return via Scandale Head and the Scandale Pass.

6 hrs

Parking at Rydal Mount just outside Ambleside.

After Dove Crag I headed off left over to Scandale Head and the Scandale Pass which would take me back down to Ambleside.
