Glaramara

Walked on 25/04/2005

Start point: The head of Seathwaite valley (NY 236 123)

Seathwaite – Stockley Bridge – Seathwaite Fell (333) – Great Slack on Seathwaite Fell (334) – Sprinkling Tarn – Allen Crags (335) – High House on Allen Crags (336) – Lincomb Head on Glaramara (337) – Looking Stead on Glaramara(338) –  Glaramara (339) –  Seathwaite

Distance: 7.5 miles     Total Ascent: 1092 metres     Time Taken: 3 hours 40 minutes

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.
