EXPERT
Fairfield Horseshoe Extended
33.1km · 2,287m climb · Loop
You get the full Fairfield ridge plus a there-and-back tag of Helvellyn thrown in, so a route runners already know becomes a proper full-day mountain outing without ever leaving a path.
EXPERT
Helvellyn Double
36.7km · 2,856m climb · Loop
It takes two of the Lake District's best-known summits and links them properly, so instead of picking Fairfield or Helvellyn for the day, you get both, with the climbing to prove it.
