Over Windermere to Coniston Fells

During the 2010 "Lake District Mountain Trial" my route took me up on the side of the Kentmere Horseshoe for this view under a clearing sky.


The "Mountain Trial" is an orienteering type of fell race described as "a severe test of fellrunners? mountaineering ability and stamina. Competitors are required to traverse difficult and often dangerous terrain, rapidly but safely. Navigational skills and route choice have a direct bearing on each competitor?s safety. Evolving from a race organised by the YHA in 1952, it is run on orienteering principles and is the longest established event of its kind in Great Britain."
