Walks Including Allen Crags:

A

The ridge route along Glaramara on the left leading to Allen Crags at the head of Grains Gill with the slopes of Seathwaite Fell on the right.

On the left are the slopes of Glaramara with Allen Crags in the distance and the dip being Esk Hause, then Seathwaite fell and the lower slopes of Base Brown, as we walk up the fine valley of Grains Gill.

Blencathra in the distance on the right.  Ruddy Gill is in the centre with, I think, Allen Crags ahead (as we head up on our route to Scafell Pike).
