My day out started from the pay and display car park (£7 for 10 hours) in Ambleside in cold clear weather. The intention being to do the Fairfield horseshoe in an anti clockwise direction but couldn't find the path as my map only covered the top end of the walk. So I walked down the road then up the track and onto the route to Nab scar and a clockwise route which worked out fine in the end.
Here are a few pictures of my (and Friends) accent to Fairfield as you can see the higher we got the less viz we had until on fairfield summit there was complete white out.
As I said earlier fairfield was a complete white out and navigation was extremely difficult quite a few people were wondering around up there lost including a fell runner who we saw three times running in a different direction each time and a couple who were walking in the completely wrong direction in the end we all got together with five maps and two compasses and worked it out, took a while though. The walk round the top to hart crag was completely in cloud but as we got lower the weather started to improve.
All in all a cracking day in the fells
