Fairfield Horseshoe from Rydal Church.
Lovely mainly sunny day but breezy - temp of -5 with wind chill on the ridge.
Nab Scar (40min), Heron Pike (1h 5min), jog contour around Greenhead Gill to Stone Arthur (1hr 30min). Up ridge to Great Rigg & Fairfield (2hr 30min) where it was cold! Usual ravens riding the thermals on Hart Crag and gentle traverse to Dove Crag (3hr 15min).
Long ridge past High & Low Rigg in golden sunshine with breeze behind. Hugged the wall and had one hairy descent but then down to Sweden Bridge and back along to Rydal Hall.
Feet sore towards end - both knees sore without any great pain.
