Glaramara & Great Gable - Borrowdale is a gem of a valley with Derwentwater the sparkling diamond, its coronet numerous summits on offer. Beyond Derwentwater the valley is squashed into the 'jaws', a narrow defile, where river,woods and hills create a perfect vision of Lakeland landscape. A little further the Borrowdale valley flattens and valley broadens, the head of the valley being split by craggy fells backed by the dark half-dome of Great End. The suggested 9 mile BLACK walk (with 4105ft of ascent) will include a visits to the summits of both Glaramara (2,569ft) and the imposing Great Gable (2,949ft). The walk may be shortened to 8.5 miles (with 2733ft of ascent) if a return to Seathwaite is made via Styhead Gill.
