On the Wednesday evening, as the humidity started to build up, we went over to Braithwaite for the Coledale Horseshoe. An absolute classic line and a favourite walk of mine; a grinding climb that is, astonishingly, just runnable, followed by a long swooping descent with some rock steps thrown in. It\'s spoilt only by a bottleneck at some narrow steps early on. With Ennerdale still to come at the end of the week
I was just out for a training run really, trying to develop some \'Lakeland Legs\'. Matt Simms turned up from Hexham so we almost had a team.

Each Lakeland valley has its unique atmosphere but Duddon is a bit special because it has no lake and is narrow and secretive. It doesn\'t attract tourists as the others do and on Monday evening we had the camp site... and the midges.., to ourselves.On the Wednesday evening, as the humidity started to build up, we went over to Braithwaite for the Coledale Horseshoe.
