A grey day today on the Armboth Fells, although we did stay drier than expected.
When we were up on this ridge just over a week ago the ground was well frozen, but there has been quite a thaw over the last week, today the ground was a little more boggy up here, although not nearly as bad as it can be!
From the Armboth car park we climbed by Fisher Gill towards High Tove, as we reached the grassy ground above the treeline we headed off to the south climbing to the summit of Armboth Fell, probably one of the least frequented summits in the Lake District. As we descended from the summit of Armboth Fell we saw a large heard of deer to the south of us before they ran off down into the valley.
We climbed west from the summit of Armboth Fell towards Middle Crag before following the fenceline north to the summit of High Tove.
After a short stop on the summit of High Tove we followed the ridge north to the summit of High Seat, as we stopped for lunch on the summit of High Seat the cloud blew in a little leaving us with little to see.
After lunch we descended east dropping down to the treeline below Castle Crag to meet the forest track and climbing to the summit of Raven Crag.
There were some good views from the summit of Raven Crag over Thirlmere but the Helvellyn range on the opposite side of the valley was still in thick cloud.
From Raven Crag we descended down to the roadside and followed this south back to Armboth.
