My favourite Snow Hike! Coledale Horseshoe in Winter Conditions - 7 Wainwrights, Lake District

- Join us on a route I've been wanting to do for a long time ~ The Coledale Horseshoe. The Winter conditions were absolute perfection and I’m excited to share this day's hike with you.
We take in the 5 Wainwright peaks from the traditional route (Grisedale Pike, Crag Hill, Sail, Outerside & Barrow) plus 2 extras (Scar Crags & Causey Pike). This clocks in just shy of 11 miles / 17.5 km. We begin and finish the route in the village of Braithwaite.
It all sounds like a Hobbit adventure!
Aside from the views, we encounter a couple of beautiful creatures along the way.
All in all, another magical day in the Lake District!
I’m so happy to be back sharing another video with you. If you enjoy it, please do leave a comment as I love hearing from you and you’ll also be helping my video find its way to others.
Thanks for watching :)

New to the Channel? ♥
Hi, I’m Chloe. I grew up in the lovely Devonshire countryside though, seeking wilder and more rugged landscape, now live in Cumbria on the edge of the Lake District with my husband Ryan and our springer spaniel, Cam.
Join us on our adventures in the fells.
We love wild camping and swimming, climbing, hiking the Wainwrights, scrambling, fell running and exploring historical sites.
I hope our videos give you a moment of calm and cosiness and a little inspiration to get out on your own adventures.

I left the UK 25 years ago to move to Australia.
By the 2.30 mark you had convinced me to consider my wife's suggestion of moving back.
That is testement to the beauty of the UK and your cinematography.
A sincere thank you!
Ahh home is always calling. Hope you both are happy wherever that may be 🙏🏼
Absolutely stunning. The scenery, the camera work, the music- fantastic video!
Ahh thanks Chloe 😊
Thanks for sharing your connection with nature so beautifully.
Thanks for watching 🙏🏼😊
That’s one tough puppy and you two are amazing.
Nothing phases him 🙏🏼
Wow. So beautifully filmed and narrated. You really captured the magic of the Winter landscape, both the epic scenery and the more intimate details. I love your style. So serene and atmospheric. Well done Chloe. 👏🥰
Thank you 😊
Hi Chloe..
The Coledale horseshoe is a most excellent ramble around some of the fantastic fells of north lakeland...
From Grisedale Pike, a detour onto Hopegill head & Grasmoor before the yomp upon to Eel crag (as its called in my Wainwright guide book & is the original name).. down to Sail with bait on the pinnical of Causey pike with Outerside & Barrow bringing you back down to Braithwaite..
Even had 4 youngn's ask if they could tag along on a day for them that was just gonna be Grisedale then back down.
Thanks for you entertaing video.. was a delight to watch😉
Oh.. & if your ever in the Grisedale pike area again go find the christmas tree on Habcarton end (on a path that starts as scree & becomes a cairned path)
Keep safe, have fun & enjoy Lakeland
Thanks so much, it's a lovely route. I will keep an eye out haha 🎄
Spectacular photography. You are an artist…with a great dog.
Thank you Terry 😊
You might be getting sick of hearing this, but your videos are absolutely stunning. Seriously really beautiful. The atmosphere you create is awesome. Thank you for making them. ATB
Haha always appreciated, thank you 🙏🏼
Wow amazing video and the snow covered landscape, and rolling clouds. Breathtaking and beautiful. Thank you for sharing your part of the world💕
Thanks John! Glad you enjoyed seeing the fells 😊🗻
WOW! That was one amazing film, well done for making this spectacular video. Undoubtedly a FIVE STAR FILM ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Cheers Mike 👍
Thanks again Mike 🙏🏼
Great to see a female hiker who knows what she's doing, where she's going and with all the correct kit. Refreshing take compared to some of the female UTUBERS out there poncing about in sports bras and trainers (not saying that would be their attire in those conditions). Lovely views and well shot. Done a few of those from the Buttermere side.
The footage with the clouds rolling over the mountaintops are absolutely mesmerising. I could watch a scenery like that for hours. Stunning. Thanks for taking us along🙋🏻♂️
Thanks for watching Tommy 🙏🏼
Mental strength is everything , getting out for a walk or run benefits you so much , love getting out in Cumbria , great channel 😊
Thanks 😊 Yes, absolutely. When my mind gets sluggish I know I haven't been moving enough.
Magnificent😀😀
Another great video.
A great area to walk captured brilliantly.
Thank you 😊
So addictive brilliant got to go to sleep watch tomorrow night ,I'm so relaxed beautiful ❤
Glad you found it a relaxing watch 🙏🏼
Thank you for such amazing videos. You are very inspiring to me, helping me to push to explore more and further than before. Happy exploring and thanks again.
Thanks for watching Joe 😊 It's really nice to hear they help get you out ⛰️
Beautiful production on hills I know well. Really enjoying your content. Thank you.

I'm sure I'm not alone in waiting for your content. As always pure class scenery amazing, thanks for sharing:) you really know how to edit. I'm hooked lol. Great to see cam too. Keep it up
Ahh that's so lovely, thank you. Nice to have people who enjoy them 😊 It shouldn't be as long till the next 😄
Thanks for sharing
Lovely 💫😌💫
Thanks for watching 🙏🏼
What a magical majestic landscape,love the camera work,reminds you how small we are.
Thank you! The fells look so different covered in snow. Almost felt a little like being in the Alps.
That was awesome! Spectacular views and your dog is adorable 😍
Thanks so much, he is a cute pie 🥰
It's over 35 years since I walked these fells and they were my favourites in the Lakes. I'm starting to feel past it but recently bought a bivvy tent so it's the kind of walk I can split with a sleep over! Not in winter of course! Beautiful video. Thank you.
Oh nice, I hope you enjoy your bivvy. I'll be doing some of that this summer 🙏🏼
The footage clouds bubbling and spilling over the mountains was breath taking. So beautiful.
Yes that's my favourite when they're low like that, it can look like a cauldron bubbling!
Love your style, amazing footage
Thanks 🙏🏼
Fantastic videos...and i love your dog :-)
Thank you, he's so sweet 🐾
Kinda sad moment knowing I've watched all the videos, but knowing there'll be more makes me smile...
Should be one in a couple of days 👀
The parts of your videos, in which you do not talk, remind me of - do not laugh - the Lord of the Rings movies. I mean, with the amazing views and with the music (or shall I say, soundtrack?). I hope you will never stumble into any orcs.
Your videos are beautiful. Keep hiking, filming and showing us.
Haha well that's the biggest compliment for me as LOTR is my greatest creative inspiration! I would love to do a class in the longsword so watch this space orcs 😄 Thanks so much 🙏🏼
Really enjoyed that, thank you. Took me out of the gloomy morning train journey with all the gloomy morning faces to somewhere magical.
Oh so glad it helped transport you to the fells on your commute ⛰️ Thanks for watching 😊
Great stuff. More please
Another day hike on the way 🗻
Beautiful, serene yet somehow raw, wild yet relaxing.
Ahh thanks David 🙏🏼
Enjoy my friend
Thank you 🗻
Amazing video, such a gorgeous place ❤️
Thanks Nick 😊
Your best video yet, loved the views and the feel. For me the mountain ravens are the spirits of old climbers and skiers coming to say hello! Really lovely thank you!
Ahh that's a lovely thought. I was visited by another raven on Skiddaw the other week. Beautiful birds.
Gigantesque
Just found your channel very enjoyable viewing.
Thanks for watching 😊
so nice
Glad you enjoyed it 🏔️
Lovely film of a walk that I know like the back of my hand (partially given my family home is on some shots). Even though I'm now in Switzerland, surrounded by 3000m + mountains there's something about the approachability of those Lakeland fells that makes them so appealing (well at least when they're not full).
I was interested that you had a coat on your spaniel. Our springer is quite happy at least down to -20c without a coat and loves rolling in snow, the deeper and more powdery the better. As long as you keep moving they're OK.
Thanks, it must be lovely to be in Switzerland amongst such spectacular mountains. I believe the summer meadows are also stunning.
Ahh he definitely needs a coat as he hasn't got a thick coat and is pretty lean. We also have high humidity levels here, as I'm sure you know, and not so much of that nice powdery snow.
@@FablesandFells Thanks. They're like the lakeland fells but on a much bigger scale and of course with glaciers and thinner air. Most of our local peaks need proper climbing kit and ideally a guide to get all the way to the top so there's no real culture like doing the Wainwrights. I do get to start though at over twice the height of Grizedale Pike.
I found your channel as I was starting to plan my summer wild camping above the treeline with the dog. The snow here will probably have melted in June this year so it's getting close.
What an amasing video. You capture the beauty, the atmosphere and the splendour of the lakes. Fantastic work and many thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much Chris 😊
Great video Chloe, it looked very cold up there 🥶
Thanks, yes we've had a very cold Winter!
Love it's like cannnl
Such a beautiful landscape and perfect conditions.
A wonderful video.
Thanks so much 😊
Simply stunning
Atmospheric and a complete joy to watch
Thank you
Eddy
Ahh thanks so much Eddy, that's very kind 😊 Glad you liked it.
At 5.38 the scenery and music made me think of Lord of the rings 😊 expected to see Gandalf ride by on Shadowfax! 😌
🤩 I would love to go riding in the Lakes, I would definitely have the soundtrack playing in my head 😄
Love the peacefulness and serenity of your films Chloe. Looking forward to the next one….
Thanks so much Coby!
Hey.. thx so much for your inspiring adventures.. I've been away from my beloved fells for far too long, thru work and other testing emotional journeys... your encouraging videos are driving my heart back to the Lakes... thank you sooo much 🥲
Sorry to hear that, hope you can return in the not too distant future and enjoy them once more 🙏🏼 They'll be here patiently waiting ⛰️
premium content! thanks! 👍
Thank you 😊
starting to feel like SKYRIM ; music, ambience, scenery, all its left is your armors and dragons flying around 😁
Haha thanks, and a trusty steed 🐎⚔️
Fantastic. There is nothing like being surrounded by nature to cleanse you. Great content Chloe 🙂👍
Absolutely 🙏🏼 Thanks for watching 😊
Contemplative, I really like this aspect of your videos. Very calming. Great video. Don't leave it too long until the next.👍
Thank you,glad you found it calming 😊 Haha I won't 🙈
Good video
Thanks 🙏🏼
Beautifully captured! I'm pleased that CZcams suggested this to me. :-)
Thanks so much Olly! Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Ilove the camera its is stunning
Thank you 🙏🏼
Writing from Northern California.
So lovely.. at a loss for words.
If CZcams charged for pausing and rewinding, I'd be broke after watching this one...
Aw haha, glad you enjoyed it 😊
Music makes it better than sound of wind in microphone. Those peaks, views, solitude in open spaces. Amazing.. I thought that solitude can be found in forests only, especially in Alaska or Rocky mountains. Hope its not crowded during summer. i know you start at dusk but maybe there are chances of solitude in the afternoon?
The Lakes do get busy in the summer months but so many people stick to a few beauty spots so those get really crowded and the quieter (no less beautiful) fells have fewer souls! If it's sunny, you're probably going to see others though!
Wow, what a stunning place & great camerawork. 👍😎👍
Thank you 😊
Beautiful video thanks for sharing
Thanks Robert 🙏🏼
Amazing! I really like your video style - and the 30 seconds of just relaxing with the deep breaths! That was perfect! Love the narration - both of the land/hiking and personal thoughts, editing, and audio! But that scenery!!! You're fortunate to hike there!
My immediate plans are not nearly as fun or exciting - foot surgery in two weeks. It will be my 3rd since September '21, and REALLY hoping it's the last. If all goes well with the surgery and recovery, the fun plans are some local trails (east coast US) by June and Iceland in July!!!
Thanks so much, glad you found it relaxing 😊 Aw no, sorry to hear that. I hope it all goes well and you're able to get back out there soon 🙏🏼 Iceland is stunning, that will be a great trip!
It's funny, I was just thinking a couple of days ago 'when will we be treated to another of your videos?', and here it is. Absolutely stunning as always. That gorgeous winter scenery makes me feel like I'm right there, rather than baking here in 35+ degree heat! And such wise words about the new year. Thank you so much for sharing :)
Our plans. We are heading back to the UK for four weeks in April, but unfortunately will not be getting any walking done.
I actually said in one video clip about hope you enjoy the snowy scenery if you're in the Southern Hemisphere but then thought it sounded a bit random, but was thinking of you 😄🇦🇺 Ahh that's a shame but I hope you enjoy your visit 🙏🏼
Such a artistic expression, everything here is done masterfully my friend! Love it, you are simply great cinematographer! 🎞️🎥👌
Ahh thank you so much, that's very kind 😊
Wow, what a lovely film Chloe and such beautiful conditions. I really enjoyed working out what the peaks where in your Timelapse (got them). Take care - Dave
Thanks so much Dave! It was a spectacular weather day. Haha I would always bet on getting them.
I’m absolutely loving these. I was planning on getting a German shepherd dog in September to go walking with me, but now seriously wondering whether I should get a springer spaniel. He’s gorgeous 👍
Ahh they are such characters, so entertaining. I know you haven't asked for input, but can I just share some thoughts in case you're new to spaniels 😅 (Obviously take it or leave it.)
Walking on a lead can be a big challenge for spaniels (you can have a look at the FB group "Training Spaniels with Reward Based Training" to see other people's experiences - lead walking crops up constantly). They are bred to be off leash, searching and flushing, they don't walk naturally, they run, so most of our daily walks are in woodland and fields so he gets to just be a spaniel.
When hiking or walking through much of the countryside he has to be on a lead because of sheep (they're everywhere 😅). That flushing behaviour can run riot in the countryside so you have to be quite active with their training.
I have a dog business so I've put a lot of work into providing him with enough mental stimulation and outlets (they're very switched on). He's wonderful, so in tune with me, so affectionate, so great off lead (had to get that work in early as many people struggle off leash with them too), I've also managed to calm him down in highly stimulating environments (again more work) but lead walking is still a challenge despite devoting so much to it.
Just some things to think about. I absolutely love spaniels but working lines especially can be more than you bargain for if you're looking for chilled countryside walks 😄
@@FablesandFells I really appreciate you taking the time to give me some input. I’ve never had a spaniel before but I’ve also never had a German shepherd, so both would be new to me. The plan was to get a German shepherd in September but seeing your adorable spaniel last time has seriously put me in two minds. We are willing to put a lot of effort and work in to training whichever we decide on and I think your reply to me was fantastic. By the way, your videos are stunningly beautiful, the only channel of this kind where it really feels like ya there 👍
Well , first of all WOW 👌 👏 I'm personally not a fan of much music in these ( sorry) of any youtuber , just makes me wanna fall asleep because I'm in my happy place watching, the scenery, the views , the cinematography even , blew me away 😀..I guess I'll just have to put up with music to get those shots .. that's all I've got 💯
Thanks! Glad you liked most of it 😄 I really enjoy the creative process of piecing it together with the music so that will continue (sorry haha). I'm sure there are lots of other hiking channels that don't use much though. Glad you liked the shots 😊
This is very classy 👏👌production, if this girl isn't snapped up by the so called major networks, then they're asleep 😴 as is the music industry. ❤ this channel, happy 👣..nb, 05:00 music and timelapse sequences are better than discovery or nat geo, brilliant 👍
Haha I've only just started out so definitely don't have nat geo on my sights 😄 but appreciate your kind encouragement 🙏🏼
Hola te felicito que lindo lugar
Gracias 🙏🏼
You're better than National Geographic .
Definitely not 🤣 but thanks 😄
Hey Chloe, just came across your channel.what great videos you make, the quality is amazing.whats the camera 📸 and subbed keep up the amazing work John x
Thanks so much 😊 It's just my phone - Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra ✌🏼
@@FablesandFells wow that's awesome 👍
Which Wainwright books do you use to choose your routes
They are the Pictorial Guides to the Lakeland Fells 😊 Walking the Wainwrights by Stuart Marshall is good for routes.
Super quality video. Less music? The landscape speaks for Itself. Wear some eye protection and save yer pork pies. Lots of uv high up and in snowy conditions. Sorry for sounding like your Grandad 😆
Thanks Pete! My channel incorporates music as that's how I personally enjoy creating, but there are plenty of other channels who don't or use less. I always have goggles packed in winter, more in case of hail type conditions, but should get in the habit of wearing them more for UV as you say 🙏🏼
In one of your postings you were reading Harry Potter.... This one looks more like Lord of the Rings ?
Haha yes good spot, there's the LOTR book in the wild swimming one and then this book is one of Wainwright's pictorial guides, which have quite Tolkien-esque drawings.
Пейзажи и музыка завораживают внимание, а текст уже лишнее...
Hi chole, take my sub now and I’ll get stuck into your content properly later - cheers Alan team54
Thanks Alan! I look forward to checking out your channel content too 🙏🏼
