Great Gable from Seathwaite
A more diverse day its hard imagine, with smiles all round and a new route record to boot. Whats more I got to try out my new over-trousers, sort of, and at least from a breath-ability perspective I am more than satisfied. Thanks Haglofs. -

A very windy day today as we climbed Great Gable from Seathwaite, climbing by Sty Head before continuing over Green Gable and Base Brown. -
Great Gable from Seathwaite
A wonderful day today climbing Great Gable from Seathwaite.
We set off from Seathwaite a little after 10am and climbed by the Taylorgill Force path and up to Sty Head alongside Styhead Gill.
As we approached the stretcher box at Sty Head we met the crowds descending from today's remembrance service on Great Gable. It felt a little like we were fighting against the tide as we climbed the path from Sty Head to the summit of Great Gable.
As we reached the summit of Great Gable all was quiet, all the crowds had now left and we had the summit almost to ourselves. We dropped down to the Westmoorland Cairn to eat our lunches with one of the best views in the Lake District in front of us.
After lunch we again crossed the summit before descending north, dropping down to the remarkably still Wind Gap and climbing again to the summit of Green Gable.
After a short break on Green Gable to admire the wonderful views we were off again, descending north to Blackmoor Potts and then up to the summit of Base Brown.
We descended north down the steep northern shoulder of Base Brown to meet the better defined path below as it descended alongside Sour Milk Gill and back to Seathwaite.
