Glaramara

Walked on 26/06/2007

Start point: Strands Bridge (NY 249 135)

Strands Bridge – Thorneythwaite Farm – Seathwaite – Stockley Bridge – Seathwaite Fell – Great Slack on Seathwaite Fell – Sprinkling Tarn –Allen Crags – High House on Allen Crags – Lincomb Head on Glaramara – Looking Stead on Glaramara – Glaramara – Combe Head –Stonethwaite Fell – Rosthwaite Cam on Rosthwaite Fell – Bessyboot on Rosthwaite Fell – Strands Bridge

Distance: 9 miles     Total Ascent: 1025 metres     Time Taken: 4 hour 30 minutes

Weather: Overcast with sunny spells. 15oC.

At least it was dry today but there was really rather a chilly wind on the tops today; it felt more like Autumn than summer. I parked at Strands Bridge this morning rather than the more popular Seathwaite, preferring to do the flat section first rather than last as I find it makes a good warm-up and the alternative car parking place was a lot quieter. Casper’s fame must be widening too as we were recognised by a party of walkers on Combe Head who were big StridingEdge fans – sorry, no Angus today!
