| Baarb | Grand  Date Climbed: Mar 9, 2004 | |
| Did a clockwise circuit of the horseshoe out of Ambleside. Pretty cloudy and windy on the way up but led to some great scenes when a gap in the near clouds would appear and through it you could see what looked like massive snowy mountain ranges behind. While those were clouds too for a minute you could imagine you were in the Himalaya. | |

| rgg | The final Date Climbed: May 26, 2012 | |
| ... at least that's what getting up to Faifield felt like. It was the penultimate day of my trip to the Lake District, but tomorrow there would be no more hiking, as I had to catch a plane. I had come from Helvellyn, Nethermost Pike and Dollywagon Pike and spent a few leasurely hours at the tarn, preparing a nice warm lunch and having a cuppa to finish off the last of my fuel. After that, I went up Fairfield and followed the ridge over Hart Crag, Dove Crag and beyond, all the way to lake Windermere. By the way, I had a really excellent meal at The Log House in Ambleside. | |

| Part of a grand round that started with early start on Pinnacle Ridge, up St Sunday, over to Farfield, down to Grisedale Tarn (where a lovely Lady was taking an early morning dip - after the coldest May on record!) and finally to Helvellyn and down Striding Edge. | |
