Glaramara from Stonethwaite
A good day climbing Glaramara today from Stonethwaite.
We set off at 10am and climbed by Big Stanger Gill and up onto the summit of Bessyboot. There was quite a breeze here so we didn't stop for to long and were soon passing Tarn At Leaves and on the way to the summit of Rosthwaite Fell.
As we climbed the wind was getting stronger, we climbed by Combe Door and up to the wonderful summit of Combe Head where after a few photos we crossed to the summit of Glaramara, stopping just below the summit for a short lunch stop.
After lunch we descended the Thornythwaite Fell path into The Combe dropping down the path to Mountain View and following the paths back to Stonethwaite.

Glaramara and the Allen Crags
A glorious day today climbing Glaramara and the Allen Crags from Seathwaite.
We set off from Seathwaite at 10am and climbed the steep slope by Hind Gill, eventually emerging into the bright sunshine above the gill as the slope eased. We continued reaching the summit of Glaramara in good time and after a short photo stop on the summit and a quick drink we were on our way again following the ridge past High House Tarn and climbing to the summit of the Allen Crags.
We stopped out of the breeze at the summit of The Allen Crags to eat our packed lunches and to admire the views, although it was sunny and warm the air was very hazy and we couldn't see too far.
From The Allen Crags we descended to the wind shelter below Esk Hause and followed the path down below Great End to Sprinkling Tarn and out along the ridge to the summit of Seathwaite Fell dropping down to the Styhead Gill path back to Seathwaite.

The 24 Peaks in 24 Hours Day 1
A near perfect day in the snow today, we set off from Buttermere just after 8am climbing by Sour Milk Gill onto the summit of Red Pike, a wonderful view over the Solway and out to the Isle Of Man with Ireland just visible beyond!
We followed the ridge east climbing to the summit of High Stile and then onto High Crag, descending the steep slope of Gamlin End and onto Haystacks.
The snow was quite deep in places and much of the usually boggy ground on the southern side of Haystacks was frozen over, progress on this ground was slow but we pressed on to climb to the summit of Brandreth and followed the ridge over Green Gable to climb to the summit of Great Gable, watching a snowboarder on theslopes of Green Gable and a paraglider above our heads on Great Gable. We had lost a lot of time between High Crag and Brandreth so it was decided not to climb Scafell Pike, the boulder fields on Broad Crag and Ill Crag would not much fun in the dark!
Instead we descended to Sty Head and followed the path to Sprinkling Tarn and onto the summit of Seathwaite Fell and then over the Allen Crags, here the sun set and we descended by Angle Tarn to Rossett Pike in the dark and down the Rossett Gill path to Mickledore and the Old Dungeon Ghyll Hotel, for a well earned drink, arriving at the hotel at 7.50pm, 10 summits and a great day on the fells.
