Coledale Horseshoe

This fabulous fellrace in the Lake District is held at Braithwaite (near Keswick). The 9 mile race takes in the tops of Grisedale Pike, Eel Crag and Barrow. Conditions were great for running - blue skies, not too hot, and dry underfoot. There were about 250 runners and YC came home about 50th in 1 hours 35 mins. Here are a couple of photos courtesy of Phil Sanderson.
