First walk back in the since breaking my toe upon our return from The Alps, would it hold out? Parking at Seathwaite farm, we take the path to Stockley Bridge and continue towards Styhead Tarn. Turning left before the tarn to climb the side of Seathwaite Fell and onto the summit. From here we head to Sprinkling Tarn and Esk Hause then climb to summit Great End. Returning along the same route to Esk Hause past the shelter to Allen Crags. From here, the sun comes out as we walk along the ridge to Glaramara and down to Seathwaite Farm with a very sore toe.
