1408 July Front Today’s Walks Today’s starting points: 1. B, C: Keswick 2. A, B+: Seatoller Glaramara, Allen Crags and Esk Pike with Colin Manning Grade A Distance 11 miles / 17.7km Climbing 3117ft / 950m Starting from Seatoller we have a short road walk to reach our path to start the steady ascent of Glaramara, 2569ft / 783m. The final clamber I have chosen up Glaramara is a scrambly option to add a bit more fun; it’s short and nothing unmanageable by any ‘A’ or ‘B+’ walker but can be avoided if needed. After lunch we then descend on a somewhat intermittent path before climbing up again to Allen Crags, 2575ft / 785m, hopefully for good views over the Scafell Range right in front of us. Our last climb is an up and down summit grab of Esk Pike, 2904ft / 885m, with views to Bowfell and beyond. The descent down to Seatoller is a long one but is on mostly excellent paths with no really steep bits. It passes Sprinkling Tarn for a possible refreshment stop, and Sty Head, at the start of the Corridor Route with its famous stretcher box. There’s not much to do in Seatoller so we have no rush to get back early. If you want a pint you may have to bring your own! High Spy with Dave Thornton Grade B+ Distance 9¼ miles / 15km Climbing 2000ft / 610m This is a linear walk starting at Seatoller and finishing in Keswick. Most of the climbing is at the start and we then follow a ridge which, weather permitting, will give us excellent views of the Borrowdale Valley and Derwent Water. We start off on the Allerdale Ramble heading northwards, then follow Tongue Gill past Rigghead Quarries and then on to High Spy 2142ft / 653m, the highest point on the walk. We continue on the ridge to Maiden Moor and Cat Bells. We descend on Skellgill Bank to enter a wooded area, Fawe Park, and then pass through Portinscale on our way to Keswick. Walla Crag & Ashness Bridge with Jim and Phyl Grade B Distance 8 miles / 12.9km Climbing 1000ft / 305m Leaving the coaches at Keswick bus station (toilets) we make our way to the Landing Stages. Now we go through Cockshot, Castlehead and Springs Woods on our way to Lady’s Rake on Walla Crag. This is an excellent spot to have our sandwiches, especially if the weather is fine, with views to appreciate. We now continue, descending to Ashness Bridge and on to the lake side then back to Keswick via Friars Crag. Dancing Gate with Joyce Bradbury for Tony Ingham Grade C Distance 6½ miles / 10.5km Climbing 350ft / 107m The walk starts from Keswick and we proceed westwards to the edge of Portinscale and then head north west to How Farm and Bog House before turning north east and then north to reach the River Derwent where we will have lunch on the banks. After that we soon reach Dancing Gate. There follows half a mile of walking eastwards on a quiet lane to reach the villages of Millbeck and Applethwaite in the Parish of Underskiddaw (Not Over Skiddaw you will be pleased to know!). We then turn south and pass Keswick School and Great Crosthwaite Church, where Canon Rawnsley was once the vicar. We soon reach Keswick from there. Not having Derek's foresight I have failed to book the weather so we will have to take pot luck. Club Year 2014 / 2015 Remember all nominations for officers and committee must be in writing and be with the Secretary, Mrs Joyce Bradbury by 1 st September 2014. Please help to keep the coaches clean by removing muddy boots. Please check that you have all your belongings and take newspapers etc. away with you. Thank you. .

  • This Walk Description Is from Happyhiker.Co.Uk Allen Crags And
    This walk description is from happyhiker.co.uk Allen Crags and Glaramara Starting point and OS Grid reference Verge parking at Seathwaite (NY 235123) Ordnance Survey map OL4 English Lakes - North-western area and OL6 English Lakes – South-western Distance 9 Miles Traffic light rating Introduction: This is a superb if quite tiring walk which takes in views of Scafell Pike, Great End and the Langdale Pikes as well as providing some very pretty spots at Stockley Brodge and Sprinkling and Styhead Tarns. Start: The walk starts at Seathwaite (NY 235123), the end of a cul de sac road from Seatoller on the B5289 from Keswick to Buttermere and eventually Cockermouth. There is verge parking but it gets very busy at peak times not least because this is also a popular route to Scafell. Walk to the end of the road and through the farmyard. Just beyond the farm, ignore the left turn to High House and continue to follow the main track. Ignore a path to the left which follows Hind Gill. This path is one of the alternative routes down from Glaramara should you need it (shown as a green dotted line on the sketch map). At Stockley Bridge (NY 235109), a pretty stone arched bridge designated as a grade one listed ‘building’, cross the bridge, ignoring the track to the left immediately after it which follows Grains Gill. This is the other alternative descent from just after Sprinkling Tarn. The track now climbs steadily following Styhead Gill. Cross by the footbridge (NY223102) and continue the path until it reaches Styhead Tarn (NY 221100) a lovely spot.
