From Rosthwaite - Grange fell - Great Crag - Ullscarf - Sergeant Crag - Eagle Crag. 19km 5h 30. The usual winter combination of sodden lower levels then frozen about 600m. Lovely light, back in the darkRockdoctor14/01/2024

Second time.To make sure I had visited Wainwright top and high point in 1992. Hill seems to have increased a lot in height in 31 years.russell6129/03/2023
With: hb tp mt; From Great Wood up via Cat Gill to Blaeberry Fell. Then High Seat and High Tove down to Watendlath. Over Grange Fell and Ether Knott via Ashness wood back to car.Ian Baines05/03/2023
From the car park at Watendlath on a grey windy day with a driving drizzle at times. Followed the RoW past Dock Tarn, then using sheep trods across to the super peak of High Crag. Dropped back down to the Dock Tarn track and contoured round the west side of Great Crag, before crossing to Knotts. Then up to Great Crag (Wainwright Round 4), visiting both cairns, because I can never remember which is the summit. Descended down to the Watendlath/Rosthwaite highway, and then a revisit to Brund Fell (Wainwright Round 4). Although we have camped just below at the Thwaite House field countless times with GSAL Scouts, I have never traversed the ridge north from Brund Fell before, so continued on to the impressive Ether Knot, Brown Dodd and a tricky descent to Watendlath Beck, crossing through our campsite and back to Watendlath along the road in the fading light. 13km with an impressive 800m ascent taking me 4h 40m.silverwolf_alan19/02/2023

From small CP NY255176. S on B5289 until just after property Grange View, whence E into Cummacatta wood, stile at X-walls at NY258172, then distinct FP to Grange Crags summit. Back to X-stile, PFP via Brock Bield, Long Moss to King's How. FPs SE to Brund Fell. Splish, splash, splidge and slither on E side of fence through Joppletyhow Moss to Ether Knott, then gravity assisted N over ruff'n'tuff to Brown Dodd, descent N from which is tricky down through craggy ground (do not follow wall on E, it vaults over several high crags). Shepherds Crag then down PFP to High Lodore. Complex terrain, treacherously slippery. Not worth wasting a nice day on it.Isbjorn14/02/2022
