Standard round
The regular horseshoe covers six peaks, and approximately of walking. Lakes It includes the fells Catbells (451 m), Maiden Moor (576 m), High Spy (653 m), Dale Head (753 m), Hindscarth (727 m) and Robinson (737 m). The walk may be extended by another or so, and by four more peaks, by including an extra traverse from Knott Rigg (556 m) to Causey Pike (637 m),S Marshall, Walking the Wainwrights (2000) p. 76 but the Horseshoe proper – culminating in what Wainwright called “the deep trench confined by Maiden Moor and Hindscarth”Alfred Wainwright, Wainwright in the Valleys of Lakeland (London 1996) p. 211 – surrounds and encloses Upper Newlands itself.
Wainwright’s version Wainwright himself favoured a slightly reduced round, beginning at Cat Bells but omitting Robinson in favour of a descent via Hindscarth (727 m) and Scope End (412 m).H Davies A Walk Around the Lakes (London 1989) p. 320-1 Apart from the beauty of the track itself, the latter descent (in his opinion) “earns full marks because of the lovely views of Newlands directly ahead”.A Wainwright, The North-Western Fells (Kendall 1964) Hindscarth 6
