1st October 2009 - Glaramara, Allen Crags and Seathwaite Fell

Walk Details

​Distance walked: 10.4 miles

Total ascent: 3356 ft

OS map used: OL4 - The English Lakes, North-western area & OL6 - The English Lakes, South-western area

Time taken: 6 hrs

Route description: Seatoller-Mountain View-Thornythwaite Fell-Combe Head-Glaramara-Allen Crags-Sprinkling Tarn-Seathwaite Fell-Stockley Bridge-Seathwaite-Seatoller

I set off from Seatoller back along the Borrowdale road and took the track to Thorneythwaite Farm which I soon left to start the climb of Thorneythwaite Fell. On my way up to the summit of Glaramara I paid a visit to Combe Head. After visiting Glaramara I walked along the ridge to Allen Crags. From Allen Crags I headed down to the lower Esk Hause crossroads and headed west to Sprinkling Tarn and then onto Seathwaite Fell to tick off another Wainwright. From Seathwaite Fell I made my way down to Styhead Gill and then it was back to Seatoller via Stockley Bridge and Seathwaite.
