The Upper Eskdale Valley has a chain of large mountains stretching from Scafell to Great End to Crinkle Crags that are the mightiest in the Lake District. For this walk we will be going to two of them: Esk Pike (885 meters) and Bow Fell (902 meters), and we will be approaching these mountains via Grains Gill and Esk Hause.
On the way back we return to Grains Gill, descend to Sprinkling Tarn, head in a flat direction towards Seathwaite Fell (the third Wainwright and mountain of the day) before finally descending into Seathwaite itself.
This walk will take about 7 to 8 hours, and the route chosen minimizes the ups and downs as well as the total ascent- though it’s still a big one.
Meet time: 9.15am (Highly recommend getting parked up before 9am)
Start time: 9.30am
Start point: Seathwaite Farm (where the road ends)
