From Seatoller, walk to Stockley Bridge, followed path to Styhead before branching off to bag three Seathwaite Fell tops before descending and taking path to Esk Hause then over Allen Crags, all tops to Glaramara. Weather awful, wind rain mist. Everything sodden. Aborted the remainder of my route by descending back towards Stockley Bridge. The rest can wait until another time.Longwojo19/02/2023

Last of the day although I didn't know it at the time. I was going to carry onto Great End but the mist came down heavy, really really heavy by the time I got to Sparkling Tarn. So turned back. Wise move as the rain came lashing down soon after.Altheus25/05/2019

Good Friday circuit of Borrowdale Fells from Seathwaite, though had to park courteously over a half-mile before due to so many other visitors, even at 09:30! Styhead Path onto Seathwaite Fell (Wainwright) via Aaron Crags. Then on to Seathwaite Fell - Great Slack and South Top. From Sprinkling Tarn up on to Great End via Esk Hause, then on to Esk Pike. Next on to Allen Crags, then the long walk over High House Tarn Top, Red Beck Top and Looking Steads to reach Glaramara. Finally, descended via Thornythwaite Fell and walked back round via Seatoller. Magnificent hike and sunny throughout - Great End was the only one of the five Wainwrights I'd previously climbed.mavero1019/04/2019
