The Western Fells occupy a triangular sector of the Lake District, bordered by the River Cocker to the north east and Wasdale to the south east. Westwards the hills diminish toward the coastal plain of Cumberland. At the central hub of the high country are Great Gable and its satellites, while two principal ridges fan out on either flank of Ennerdale, the western fells in effect being a great horseshoe around this long wild valley.
Base Brown is a near neighbour of Great Gable, also bordering onto the Southern Fells.
Base Brown is often passed on the way to Sty Head and Esk Hause, along the popular paths which start at Seathwaite. Base Brown is itself almost exclusively climbed from this hamlet, via the cascades of Sour Milk Gill. Once the foot of Gillercomb is reached a choice presents itself. Either the walker can continue up the gill to reach Blackmoor Pols and then make an easy traverse back to the summit, or
There is a route under a prominent hanging stone startlingly poised over the rim of the crags.
Great Gable and its lesser companion Green Gable stand at the head of Ennerdale, with the walkers' pass of Sty Head to their backs. Base Brown is the summit of the north east ridge of Green Gable, standing out into Borrowdale.
Green Gable is often traversed by walkers en route to its more famous neighbour Great Gable. It can be ascended from Honister Pass, Seathwaite in Borrowdale, or Ennerdale. There are good views of Gable Crag, Scafell Pike and the Buttermere valley from the summit.
Great Gable is named after its appearance as a pyramid from Wasdale, though it is dome-shaped from most other directions. It is one of the most popular of the Lakeland fells, and there are many different routes to the summit. Great Gable is linked by the high pass of Windy Gap to its smaller sister hill, Green Gable, and by the lower pass of Beck Head to its western neighbour, Kirk Fell.
Seathwaite Fell is a northern ridge of Great End in the Scafells. It projects out from beneath the great northern cliff of its parent, occupying a tongue of land between two tributaries of the River Derwent. These are Styhead Gill to the west and Grains Gill to the east, the streams meeting at Stockley Bridge below the nose of the fell. Sty Head Gill falls from the walkers' pass at Sty Head, the main pedestrian route from Borrowdale to Wasdale. Near the head of the pass is Styhead Tarn. This in turn is fed by the outflow of Sprinkling Tarn, a beautiful indented pool lying between Seathwaite Fell and Great End. Sprinkling Tarn lies very close to the course of Grains Gill, ensuring that Seathwaite Fell is almost surrounded by water.
The prow of the fell above Stockley Bridge has two tiers of crag, with Aaron Crags standing above Black Waugh. A long line of crags also stands above Grains Gill on the eastern side, looming above the popular path from Seathwaite to Esk Hause. The western face, although rough, drops more gently down to Styhead Gill. In addition to a number of rocky knolls, the summit ridge also carries numerous small tarns. None are named on Ordnance Survey maps, although the one below the south top is of a reasonable size.

Hi Andy, great viewing once again. Im not sure my legs would be up to all those ups and downs but what a fabulous route! Great info on the descent of Seathwaite Fell it certainly cuts a big chunk off it if you rather than go all the way round. Spectacular drone footage, no one could ever tire of seeing such dramatic views. All the Best Andy and Billy
Thanks as always Tony very much appreciated mate

What a fantastic route up to Great Gable. One of my favourite fells and doesn't it look superb from Green Gable? That's a good route down from Seathwaite Fell so anyone watching could save themselves a potential falling on one's arse ha ha! I've been soooo busy lately so missed your fabulous videos. I've got some serious catching up to do. Thanks for sharing Andy. Please give Billy a hug and say a hello to Tracey from me. Cheers David
Thanks for watching David as always very much appreciated 😊

Crikey Andy, two consecutive sunny Saturdays at Seathwaite, must be a record. Brilliant video which makes me wish I was going next week but will have to wait until September unfortunately. You've given me an idea for a walk as far as Aaron Slack and back down Styhead Gill, my knees couldn't take Great Gable descent any more. Thanks again for the inspiration from Nigel and Teg the superstar collie.
Thanks Nigel it's nice just to get up in'amang them big Hills in't it ya don't have to Summit just go as far as ya can get nice and easy no goals or finish line just quality time.
Sorry for the late reply buddy but thanks for watching and the great feedback 😊

Morning Marra, morning Billy. What a day, stunning weather and views. A cracking area, one that I’ve not been to in a while. That’s given me an idea for my next outing. I’m not going to risk the walk on to the hanging stone though! 🤣
Enjoy the rest of the weekend. I’m giving me legs a rest after finishing the Cumbria Way on Friday.
All the best mate
Dave ⛰🥾😀
Awesome achievement completing the Cumbria Way Dave very well done mate...thanks as always for watching Marra and great feedback very much appreciated 😊

Great work, nice route too. By the time I've got up Great Gable, I'm generally only interested in downhills for the rest of any walk.
Thanks for watching buddy very much appreciated 😊

Great job Andy and a great route. I've pretty much done the same for me but in late winter amidst fog and so.e ice. Didn't see much from the top sadly. But its a classic

Cracking drone footage, Mr Spielberg, I mean Andy! And Billy was sure giving it some welly on the drum into! 🤣This was a very handy video. You've helped out with two routes I've been meaning to do. I've yet to do Base Brown, so I quite like the look of that way up. And also I've often wondered if there was a doable route up or down Seathwaite Fell via the nose. I think I've done the tougher route you talked about and didn't like it but I like the look of that one. I was thinking of using a climb up the nose of Seathwaite and then across the top to hit the path from Sprinkling Tarn heading for Esk Hause. Was thinking of doing that as a quieter start than the Styhead Tarn route. And out of curiosity, do you think there's a route off Base Brown down into the Styhead Tarn valley... provided you go far enough along the ridge, maybe to the col between there and Green Gable before dropping left? Another one I've looked at for a bit of an explore and haven't done it yet. Thanks, Andy and Billy of course!
Thanks Irene you'll be fine with the Base Brown and the Seathwaite Fell routes I put a lot of effort into getting them both correct especially Seathwaite Fell it's an off piste zig zag but definitely good to go...sorry for the late reply Irene have a wonderful weekend 😊
