1st November 2008 - Grange Fell and Great Crag

Walk Details

​Distance walked: 6.8 miles

Total ascent: 2185 ft

OS map used: OL4 - The English Lakes, North-western area

Time taken: 6 hrs

Route description: Rosthwaite-Hazel Bank-Puddingstone Bank-Brund Fell-King's How-Watendlath-Great Crag-Dock Tarn-Lingy End-Stonethwaite Bridge-Rosthwaite

This walk from Rosthwaite included bagging the Wainwright of Grange Fell as well as visiting Great Crag.

From the car park I crossed the road and took the footpath past the Hazel Bank hotel to Puddingstone Bank. I then visited the two tops of Grange Fell; Brund Fell and King's How, before retracing my steps and to head down to Watendlath. From there I then took the footpath that heads across to Stonethwaite via Dock Tarn with a visit to the summit of Great Crag on the way. My route back was the descent by Lingy End and Willygrass Gill to Stonethwaite Bridge and back to Rosthwaite.
