Route Map
The sun was shining and the skies were blue
this afternoon, so I took the opportunity for a short walk
up to Carron Crag from the Grizedale Visitors centre near
Satterthwaite. It's a little bit odd this walk as most of it
is in the forest, so there are no views until you reach the
summit ridge where everything opens up before you. Well
worth a visit.
