"The quiet beauty gives place to romantic beauty, placid scenery to exciting. One looks east, and the heart is soothed; west and it is stirred."

A.Wainwright

The easternmost summit of the Lake District Grey Crag is the point where mountains give way to the moorland of the Northern Pennines and the Yorkshire Dales, to the west of the summit the land drops down towards Longsleddale steeply over rocky outcrops while to the east the slopes are gently and grassy descending over gentle valleys and moorland, here there are names more reminiscent of the central Lake District with valleys such as Wasdale and Borrowdale far less frequented than their more famous namesakes.

To the north of Grey Crag lies Tarn Crag and an easy path to Gatesgarth Pass and Harter Fell, the link to the main High Street range to the west.

Testimonials

Rating:

Just to say thank you so much for an insightful two days. It was an amazing course! On Monday, I wore a groove in Nanny Lane on the way up and down to Wansfell Pike while practising my pacing. On Tuesday, I went to Grasmere and up to Lang Howe, Silver How, Dow Bank and back to Grasmere. And I was almost overcome with emotion that every blobble I walked to, fitted the map. And I didn't get lost once, thanks to your teachings. No precipices, no crags, it was all very easy underfoot. I have to admit, I was averaging only about 1km an hour, double and triple-checking etc., but with more practice, I will learn to trust myself more and get quicker. And anyway, the view is there to be admired.
