George Fisher ABRAHAM’S TEA ROUND

Inspired by the skyline view from our Abraham’s Café, the Round starts at the doors of George Fisher. The route goes through Portinscale village before heading up and over the top of Catbells, down to Little Town in the Newlands Valley, then over Robinson before descending to the shores of Buttermere.

A steep climb up to High Stile and back down to Buttermere via Red Pike and Bleaberry Tarn precedes a long slog out of Buttermere up Whiteless Pike. The route heads over to Crag Hill, traversing along and then up Grisedale Pike, before doubling back to reduce the climb up Hopegill Head. Back towards Crag Hill from Hopegill Head, up Eel Crag, across to Sail and Scar crags then descend Causey Pike onto Rowling End. Then it’s a drop down into Stoneycroft Ghyll before popping up the last fell of the day, Barrow, and back to Keswick and touch the doors of George Fisher.

'A 30-mile route with 12,000+ feet of ascent'

Since its inception last year, the Abraham's Tea Round has gone from being “a bit of a laff” to something than more and more fell runners are targeting. Everyone that does it gets a Golden Tea Cup, refreshments on us, and a bit of social media glory. We’ll regularly be reporting the scores on the doors, a roll of honour of completers with their times.
