Carron Crag

Walked on 03/11/2004

Start point: Grizedale Forest visitor centre (SD 336 945)

Carron Crag (198)(OF) from Grizedale Forest visitor centre

Weather: Grey and overcast.

Today’s walk follows an updated version of Wainwright’s Carron Crag chapter in his book ‘The Outlying Fells of Lakeland’, page 88. Grizedale Hall is now a visitors centre (previously it held German POW’s in WWII and was featured in the film ‘The One That Got Away’) and the Carron Crag route follows the red marker posts. There were no views today with it being so overcast, but nevertheless there were some interesting sculptures along the route…
