Route Map
Weather: Warm and hazy, 13-20oC.
Today's walk is another great one along
that undulating, rocky ridge of Glaramara. The walk started and finished
steeply with a harsh climb up to Seathwaite Fell and a straight down
descent from Glaramara.
The sun shone brightly today with
temperature reaching a heady 20oC
with only a slightly cool breeze reminding me that it is still early on.
However, this was the first airing of the year for my Lily-white, winter
conditioned legs in shorts - a nice feeling - and the whole walk was
completed in shorts and tee shirt only.
