Coach Ramble Borrowdale

Walk A

Rosthwaite Fell and Glaramara

6 miles Grade 1

Leader:  Bruce McMillan

We start on the path opposite "Mountain View" houses approx. 5 minutes walk from the Glaramara hotel.

The path ascends all the way to Glaramara top (2568ft), not too steep with good views. We reach the top (either a frontal scramble or round the foot to the West side where there is a path to the cairn. Again, great views.

Now, from here to Bessyboot/ Rosthwaite Fell (1807ft), there is no clear path. So, this time, I will be at the front and everybody has to follow me as I make a route to Bessyboot via the "Tarn of leaves".

Depending on time, we can have lunch at either top. After Bessyboot, we head down to the beck we passed on the way up, cross it and rejoin the path back to the hotel and refreshments. 2 Wainwrights and great views.
