Trailblazing the Mighty Glaramara from Seatoller The Lake District

A beautiful hard Mountain day in the glorious Lake District
Trailblazing deep fresh snow on one of my favourite winter Mountains.... The Mighty Glaramara.
Glaramara is a fell in the Lake District. A substantial Mountain part of a long ridge that stretches for over six kilometres from Stonethwaite in Borrowdale up to the important mountain pass of Esk Hause.
Heading south west the ridge is knotted with many rocky obstructions and boggy hollows.
The path is faint in places and difficult to follow. Lined with precipitous crags this ridge is not a place to be caught in poor weather.

Hey Andy, another top video mate, beautifully filmed and stunning views. That looked a very difficult hike in those conditions, you really need your experience and knowledge when it is like that. especially walking around the top of Glaramara. I imagine you slept well that night LOL. Thanks for sharing Andy and looking forward to your next adventure. Take care

[@RockStar67]

I had to step it up a bit Steve as I had a check up at the dentist later that day...lol so I probably fell down a few too many holes and sounded a bit knackerd 😂😂...thanks as always for watching and the lovely positive feedback...always appreciated Andy 😊 👍🏻

[@ianwhitehead4337]

I did my first ever wildcamp on Glaramara Andy back in 2016. I also went up the self and same route and way that you and Billie did. Awesome video and walk yet again matey. 👍

[@RockStar67]

Thanks for watching and commenting Ian much appreciated Mate it's a great Mountain Glaramara ⛰️

[@AlanMETALMAN]

never been on Gladamara before, passed it plenty of times but one of those that you will eventually get around too. Apart from getting two wet legs it looked a real good walk, although tough in with the snow covering some holes. Amazing summit views and when it cleared the views were jaw dropping. Cheers Alan

[@RockStar67]

Thanks for watching Alan lol yeah it's one hell of a rough old Mountain wet boggy holes everywhere... Absolute EPIC! Just been to Scotland for four night so got some belters coming soon... ATVB Andy 😁 👍🏻

[@GreyGhost.]

Always wanted to do Glaramara from this end Andrew ... but couldn't really fins a 'distinct' route and never really fancied coming in over Esk hause. Great upload .... and tips would be welcome for this particular ramble. All the best from Cornwall.

[@RockStar67]

Thanks Paul it's a great route and I favor it to the Esk Hause option it's rough and a bit hard going from Glaramara to Tarn at Leaves with a steep descent down to the valley floor but nothing technical...if you want any info just give me a shout...thanks for watching much appreciated buddy ATVB Andy 😁 👍🏻

[@Over_the_Hill]

Feel cold just watching but awesome views!!

[@RockStar67]

Haha awesome eh...thanks for watching AJ all the best buddy 😊👍🏻

[@tonypilki3]

Fantastic winter walk Andrew! what brilliant scenery with all the snow about. A pleasure to watch once again and Im hoping to get up to Glaramara some time during the summer. Ive got that and Bessy Boot yet to do so looking forward to it. Cheers

[@RockStar67]

It was a lovely day Tony Glaramara is as wild big and remote as any Hill could get in the Lake District I Love that Mountain...haha I'm missing days like this already... Thanks for watching buddy much appreciated Andy and The ROCK STAR Billy Foster ⭐

[@BrianChappell-w5r]

Another great video, Andy. We did this route a few weeks ago in perfect weather. Initially, we missed the divergence from the Combe Door path so had to back track a bit but not much. When we got to the summit of Glaramara, we weren't sure of the path to Combe Head so as we had good weather, headed along the ridge to Allen Crags and down Grains Gill back to Seathwaite and ultimately Seatoller. Thanks for another great route. Brian & Jill

[@RockStar67]

Thanks Brian and Jill...pleased you had a great walk yeah Glaramara can be a tricky Mountain to navigate...in poor weather I'd say one of the easiest Mountains in the Lakes to get lost on...pleased you got perfect weather guys thanks for watching ATVB Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐

[@BrianChappell-w5r]

@@RockStar67 Thanks, Andy. We love your videos and we especially love Billy - he is such a good boy.

Nice hot cup of coffee after that.

Absolutely thanks for watching bud 😊👍🏻

[@ireneboston7953]

Really terrific video of a tough walk on a great mountain - they don't need to be the highest to be either the toughest or one of the best, do they? It's a tiring undertaking even in good conditions so I know what it's like to add the element of fresh snow and how rough it is on the knees and ankles to keep disappearing into holes! Superb footage, thanks. Look forward to more.

[@RockStar67]

Thank you for watching and lovely comment very much appreciated Irene ATVB Andy 😁 👍🏻

[@jaffatanski]

How much longer are your hikes when you've to plant the camera and walk back then turn and walk back up an past the camera

[@RockStar67]

Lol aye Marra its not so bad in added distance but yeah the walk usually takes a bit longer haha not much time for sitting about... I love making the videos it's freshened things up especially in't Lakes where I've been and done everything it's like a new hobby in with my first love the Mountains...thanks for watching and leaving a comment Jaff much appreciated mate 😊👍🏻
