| Bowderstone NT car park (charge). Decent FP from car park to 25581726. Follow bridle way to 25801723. Stile over wall to W of X then path through deep bracken to summit. Good views over Derwent Water to Skiddaw. | PeteF | 17/09/2022 |

| 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. | Isbjorn | 14/02/2022 |
| Good parking to the north west on B road. Nice summit. | Alan Caine | 17/01/2022 |
| Exactly the same as PeterD. Fortunately the bracken was going over in October, but finding the path and crossing style was a relief. Fine view from the summit with the surrounding area resembling what 'rewilding' would be like. Met another single walker on my return, but this hill seems to be another neglected Borrowdale top. | JohnW | 13/10/2021 |
| From parking north of Grange bridge. Along road south and up via BW. Continued to HP of path where faint route went through Bracken to Stile over wall and onto the crag. Good views. Bracken very thick this time of year where there is no trodden route. | PeterD | 04/09/2021 |
| With Sue and NB, very wet and windy, from small car park near Grange, Grange Craggs and Brown Dodd return via Shepherds Cragg. | Frank | 10/03/2020 |
| From King's How. Rivendell. Descended wet and bracken slopes to bridleway and caught bus back to Keswick from Grange. Interesting atypical Lakeland walk. | Wycombe Wanderer | 09/11/2019 |
| An absolute deluge of an afternoon. Everywhere flooded. No view from the top, just mist and sheets of rain. Nice little top though. With R and B. | jenx | 20/02/2019 |
| With Jenx and Bryher in sluicing rain, prepped for it so good fun. Just a short out for this and Holm Crag over the road. River in spate | nordicstar | 20/02/2019 |

| ascent from behind leathes head hotel. no real path to summit - in summer route completely covered by bracken. great views from rocky/heathery summit | keenwalker | 28/07/2018 |
| Followed a trod straight up from near Grange Bridge. Good view all round. | Moorponder | 16/04/2018 |
| Last hill of 2017! Obvious summit on rocky outcrop in scattered birch and bracken. Great views down onto Grange village with former monastic grid settlement and grey Derwent water with orange glow of setting sun beyond. Accessed on well used RoW then path across dead bracken. Parked in layby N of Grange Bridge. Combined with Holm Crag. | Denise | 31/12/2017 |
| Last hill in a pleasant round of 5 from small roadside car park just N of the Grange turning. From King's How. | jonglew | 21/12/2017 |

| From the double tiny car parks by the B5289 in Barrowdale at NY 25655 17665. Holm Fell (small detour) > Grange Crags (small detour) > King’s How - Grange Fell > Grange Fell [Brund Fell] > Ether Knott > Brown Dodd > Shepherds Crag (small detour). Terrain difficult from Brown Dodd to Shepherds Crag. Thanks to amblerbob for providing 10 figure grid references for the stile to access Holm Fell and the path junction & stile for Grange Crags. (No bracken problems in April!) | David Gradwell | 14/04/2016 |
| Don't try this in the bracken season..... horrendous walk. Started firstly at the car park directly below it. Gave up as it meant rounding a difficult crag with a 30m drop below. Not advisable on wet soil! Then tried from the north, using the open access after the farm. Steep, slippery climb on unstable rock. No path through deep, head high bracken. Even if you find the stile over the wall there are no paths leading to or from it due to more bracken, Took me 90 minutes of hard slog | moorsman | 02/10/2015 |
| Short walk from Bowderstone car park in heavy hail showers. Nice summit. | Aye Jimmy | 07/12/2014 |

| With Jo, linear walk from Grange to Seatoller: out and back to Grange Crags (b/w to path at NY 25799 17227 and wall stile at NY 25813 17308), then b/w onto Holm Crag (stile at NY 25015 17005), continuing on b/w to stile at NY 24382 14510, then path onto High Doat, descending to Seatoller. Weather; sunny, mild, good visibility. | amblerbob | 05/11/2014 |

| Grange Fell and Great Knott from Hollows Farm. Easy detour from the path up to King's How, fine views over Derwent Water. | Jake994 | 16/06/2010 |
| Grange - Grange Crags - Kings How - Grange Fell - Ether Knott - Shepherds Crag - Lodore; five Tumps and one of the best half days' walks I've ever done. Great weather probably helped | Mark Jackson | 11/04/2010 |
