Glaramara & Seathwaite Fell

Snowy tent pitch on Allen CragsGood weather and snow as well! Another variation of a fine circuit from Seathwaite, a tight compact one to take account of the short days approaching the winter solstice with superb clear views on the first day. On the second day there was some uneven mist mixed with the sunshine but still very clear air, and we spent most of the day on a leisurely exploration of the delightful frozen tarns of Seathwaite Fell.

The snow caps were receding quickly by the afternoon of the second day as temperatures rose, that’s it for a while now.

    Another wonderful trip report Geoff - Full of envy here - but it does look cold! I don’t know how on earth you managed to find your camp spot, - I remember it as a total jumble of rock!

    Lovely pictures - Thank you

    Thanks Alan. We have pitched on a couple of spots on Allen Crags before, last time on that particular spot the snow was a lot deeper. There are quite a few grassy flat areas when you look around just below the summit.
