Event Description

"There are splendid crags and waterfalls, of which Fisher Crag and Launchy Gill are outstanding."

A Wainwright

The forested western shores of Thirlmere hide fells, although not the highest in the Lake District have much to offer, the steep gills and crags around Armboth Fell and Raven Crag have many attractions and the ridge along the summits above of High Seat and High Tove, although wet underfoot at times give a wonderful view of the higher fells on either side.

Summits included on this route:

Armboth Fell	479 metres/1572 feet
High Tove	515 metres/1690 feet
High Seat	608 metres/1995 feet
Raven Crag	461 metres/1512 feet

"High Seat is a first class viewpoint, with much of interest to see in all directions. The serrated skyline from south to north-west is remarkably good and will gain most attention"

A Wainwright

From the car park at Armboth we will climb alongside Fisher Gill to climb to the summit of Fisher Crag, a wonderful viewpoint over Thirlmere before climbing to the summit of Armboth Fell and then onto the main north south ridge at Middle Crag.

The ridge then leads north over the heathery summit of High Tove before climbing to the highest point of the day, High Seat.

We will descend East from High Seat to drop down to the path into the woodland below and after a short detour to see Castle Crag Fort we will climb through the trees to the rocky summit of Raven Crag another great viewpoint over Thirlmere below.

From Raven Crag we will descend east through the woodland to the shore of Thirlmere following the lakeshore path south back to the Armboth Car Park.

Each participant will be required to bring suitable equipment for their chosen event, please see Kit List Tab above.
