Parked at SD 16832 98030 where there is a gentle contouring path to Hare Gill then up over knolls to the top(s).DC11main11/02/2023
2nd hill on walk from Eskdale Gren to Old Dungeon Ghyll via The Boot Inn, and a good hilltrimarc203/11/2022
7/16. Ideal way to gain height easily on the well made zig zag path wending up through broken rock buttresses. Initially at the dog leg start in error I went into the adjacent lower wood via a 5 bar gate and thought it was 'rather overgrown' Nice simple rocky and grass top then on to its 10m higher near neighbour - Brantrake Crags.Chris Pearson26/03/2022
There is parking at start of BW, but I had parked at Forge Bridge and did this after Muncaster Fell. Up zig zags then easy route to top. On to Brantrake.PeterD22/07/2021
Easy walk over from Brantrake Crags with Alfie. Visited the East Top then back down the zigzag path to the van at Forge Bridge. A lovely little walk.Dangerous Dave20/04/2021

A lockdown treat 2nd top after Brantrake, truly lovely, very rocky scramble to the top. Good views of Boot and beyond. Heard grouse on the moor beyond. A frosty day with sun and exceptionally clear visibility. A training walk for the healing knees.Karmakarl12/01/2021
Garner Bank, Brantrake Crags, Redbrow Bank, Smithy MireIWC16/10/2020
1/4 Parked just beyond bends on road down to Eskdale Green, walked up round the head of the Ghyll and strike over fell to Garner Bank, then on to Brantrake Crags. Down the lovely Bridleway to valley, use lanes to work round to footpath to West of Redfbrow Bank then over Redbrow Bank and Smithy Mire. Fantastic hot day, couldn't have done much more.nickywood101/06/2020
From Brantrake Crags. Future-proofed myself by walking over NE and E tops. Rockier and drier ground than expected and fine, rocky summit. Returned to car and end of day's walking. Not a classic in the dank conditions but still good to be out in the fells.Wycombe Wanderer02/12/2019
With Brantrake Crags from minor road to ESE at SD 16828 98030.David Gradwell08/06/2019
Parking spot at the start of the bridleway to the north-west (difficult to find as the signpost is low down). Messy, wet walk until the ascent starts then it becomes a clear, dry track to an easy to spot summit.moorsman10/05/2019
