Meet Suze Haworth – Hiker, Scrambler and Sunrise Hunter

I’ve been hiking for 16 years now, and I love being outdoors, exploring and being in the hills. I’m at my happiest spending a day (or longer!) out in the mountains, creating and following routes, and just enjoying being outside. I’ve hiked abroad a fair bit, but have a huge passion for all the UK has to offer, especially the Lake District and Scotland. I also love wild camping, hunting out colourful sunrises (although I don’t necessarily love those early starts) and a bit of scrambling on some of the UK’s ridges.

What’s your favourite route or place to go and why?

Suze Haworth’s favourite route – The Mosedale Horseshoe

I’ve got a real soft spot for anything around Wasdale in the Lake District – my very first hike ever was Scafell Pike from Wasdale Head (yes, I went big!) and it’s a slightly harder place to get into, so I don’t visit all the time. This route is the Mosedale Horseshoe (OS Map: OL06, OS Explorer) – a big hike, but worth every second with some amazing mountain views, steep climbs, scrambles and ending on a beautiful scene looking down to Wast Water.
