Headless Horseshoe
The classic horseshoe over eight named tops: up by Nab Scar and Heron Pike, along the ridge to Fairfield's broad summit plateau, then back over Hart Crag, Dove Crag and the Pikes. After dark it is easy to lose your head for navigation — the plateau is featureless in mist. Full fell kit, a spare torch and a running partner, no exceptions.
