The story of four Lakeland walkers who attempt to climb a fell. The fells represent the highlight of their year. They all have dull and uninteresting jobs and their only chance of relieving the boredom is in the fells After five years of weekends together they had never managed to reach the top of the Horseshoe, but were always defeated by something trivial. By the sixth year their combined failure to get to the summit took on the proportions of a tragedy especially they all saw it matching the situation in their everyday lives. Filmed on location
