From Seatoller up Combe Gill then up to Tarn of Leaves. Climbed both tops of Dovenest and then headed to Combe Door and up to Combe Head. I then headed up to Glaramara which was a bit of a scramble the way I went. Once Id been to all possible tops I headed back to Combe Head to visit the knoll close to the cairn as from Glaramara it looked as high. I then headed down over Thorneythwaite Fell to Seatoller. Time 3.5 hours for 7.35 miles. Weather cloudy; base just above summits clearing to sunshine. | isabelle | 29/08/2023 |
