woodcutter at Grizedale Forest Visitor Centre

the rocky track up through the forest

looking back down the track

finding Carron Crag is no longer a problem - just leave the forest road here ..

.. and follow the red waymarks up this new track

a wooden ring is perched on a crag on the way up

looking through the ring southwards at the sky

the path carries on up towards the summit

the summit crags ..

.. and again looking north

the trig point looking north ..

.. and a zoomed in shot northwards from the top

Dow Crag and Coniston Old Man from Carron Crag

frustration on the way down as the forest road northwards is closed and I have to follow it back south

at least I find another woodcutter

undetered I go back UP the descent path - one of these gateposts is AW's recommended gravestone

looking down AW's descent track from the forest road
