30th December 2008 - Glaramara

Walk Details

Distance walked: 5.0 miles

Total ascent: 2273 ft

Time taken: 4.5 hrs

Route description: Seatoller-Mountain View-Thornythwaite Fell-Glaramara-Thornythwaite Fell-Mountain View-Seatoller

A walk up Glaramara from Seatoller in Borrowdale. It was a bitterly cold day and unfortunately low cloud was gradually approaching throughout the walk and prevented me having any view from the summit of Glaramara.
