Allen Crags

Grid Reference:	*NY 23668 08529*
Height:	*785 metres/2575 feet*

"Grandly positioned overlooking Esk Hause; it is really in the heart of things and on intimate terms with Bowfell, The Scafells and Great Gable - old favourites."

A Wainwright

The Allen Crags, sitting above Esk Hause, just a stones throw from one of the most walked footpaths in the Lake District, is far less frequented than it deserves. The rocky summit is a fine viewpoint with dramatic views to Great End and Great Gable to the west, and to the north a fine view over Borrowdale to Skiddaw with the Solway Firth visible beyond on a good day.

North of the Allen Crags the ridge continues to the fine summit of Glaramara before descending towards Borrowdale beyond.

Hi John, I really just had to write and let you know how much I thoroughly enjoyed the Snowdon Horseshoe walk last Saturday. The last time I attempted Crib Goch two years ago the weather was dreadful and we backed off, but last Saturday conditions were perfect. I particularly wanted you to pass on my thanks to Owen for leading this walk so well. Apart from him pointing the way I didn't find any of the scrambling difficult and enjoyed every minute. He is a thoroughly nice chap, knowledgeable and easy to talk to and get along with. I would really hope that I can walk / scramble with him again sometime (and your good self of course). Best wishes, Frank.
