Half-term adventures to the Lake District
By Sam 6C
Over half term my family and I went to the Lake District. We did lots of walking but my favourite was The Fairfield Horseshoe - a 17km classic walk with over 1100 metres of ascent that bags a total of 8 Wainwrights. We started at Ambleside went around the complete Fairfield Horseshoe anti-clockwise ending up in the Badger Bar in Rydal. (too early for the badgers!)
The walk was a super fun mix of good hiking and a few scrambles. The weather was great until about 656m when we reached High Pike and the fog came down until under Fairfield itself. The dogs had little frost eyebrows! We then went back down into sunshine! I cannot wait to add more Wainwrights to my list!
