Sail is a 2,536-foot (773 m) Wainwright in the North Western Fells of the Lake District that is most commonly hiked as part of the Coledale Horseshoe. There is a bulldozed zigzag path up the eastern side of Sail that many deem to be an eyesore but it was built by Fix the Fells in order to manage erosion.

Another stunning peak on the Coledale Round. I love the path, better this sneaking snake like path going up the hill than the eyesore of human erosion. Love the views from here.

The summit of Sail is marked by a small cairn, and it's a bit wet and boggy in wet conditions.
