Walk Title: Coledale Horseshoe
Meeting Point: Free Car Park on Whinlatter Pass just up from Braithwaite, where you access Grisedale Pike Path. It is a small car park and if there’s no space then you’d need to park in Braithwaite. There usually is some space near the Methodist Church too.
Postcode: CA12 5TL
Grid Reference: NY227237
Meeting Time: 9am for 9:30am start
Finish Time: +/- 14:00 for the shorter version or approximately 15:00 for the extended version.
Car Parking/Public Transport: Free Car Park. Additional free parking should be available in the village of Braithwaite near the Methodist Church.
Miles: 8 (but could be extended to 10 miles)
Route Description:
The well known horseshoe starts at the car park heading up the Grisedale Pike Path over Sleet How to Grisedale Pike. Then we will head down Hobcarton Crag to Sand Hill. Coledale Hause will then start to head up towards Crag Hill. The Scar leads us to Sail and when we start heading down towards Scar Crags, the group can decide to do the shorter 8 miles route via High Moss & Barrow Door. Or, if the Group (and the weather allows etc) would like to extend the walk we could head over Causey Pike, down Sleet Hause to Rowling End before heading back to Braithwaite where we might accidentally walk into the Coledale Inn for some refreshments.
