Nice easy walk up from Grizedale Forest visitor centre car park (parking costs a small fortune) lovely wonder around the forest though with plenty of wildlife

Superb autumn weather bought the punters out, all buses straining with folk taking advantage of the continued £2 fares. What's not to like? Changed my route whilst sat on the 505 Coniston bus and got off at Hawkshead. Never saw another soul until ascending Carron Crag. I was last here on 1st January 2014 and ticking off my Wainwright Outlying Fells. Follow the red sign posts from the visitor centre to reach the pillar. Dropped down to Lawson Park and meandered back to Coniston. A lovely pillar amidst a vast forest area, but bathed in sunshine, is dedicated to Fiona. This is the type of news we want to wake up to in the morning.....loneliest sheep rescued.....brave farmer for admitting he's getting attached to her.

An accidental find on a dog walk. Red trail from visitor centre made a nice loop. Very wet day, not a view to be seen! Trig is weathering with no centre cap but otherwise ok.

Proved surprisingy annoying to reach, The Hawkshead - Grisedale road is closed with a long alternative route via minor roads, then the forest paths to the pillar not very well signposted with mysterious diversions. At least got down quickly ignoring the signposting, just taking the most direct route.

From Grizedale, good tracks and forest roads shared with MTBs. Pillar sits atop the rocky outcrop that is the summit of the hill. Significant portion of the top screed is missing; centre tube has a mortar plug, which is holed; front sight hole selaed, other 3 open. Extensive views over conifer tops.

Last one for the year, putting Cumbria further ahead in my league tables. A long trek from the Marilyn top it's a bit scarred this hill with bleak forestry. Dropping off and away from the crowds, loads of little birds at the edge of old oak woods and the Water gleams beautifully as the cloud groups on to the fells.

Cheers to the passing person who took this!

Revisit. Approached from east. Car park at SD336941, east side of road. £3.80 to park, registration recorded on entry, payable on leaving, much fairer system than fixed rate pre-charge applied elsewhere in LDNP. Up past Grizedale and mapped footpaths thereafter. Trig stands on rocky outcrop. Pillar in good condition. Spider centre filled with cement. Flush bracket faces NW, compass measurement 315°. Vented through three sight holes , FB face plugged. Full 360° panoramic view.

Visited this one while on short holiday bagging Black Combe. Parked at Moor Top car park and walked through forest and on up to trig. Weather turned out great with wonderful clouds. Rough texture finish on this pillar but it suits the craggy surroundings. Down into Grizedale for a cuppa before walking back on other side of valley.

The views from this trigpoint were fantastic, a real 360 view to linger over. Slight weathering to top of pillar, nothing serious. Concrete plug. Nice FB number painted yellow numbers.

Parked at the Grizedal Visitor Centre (currently under redevelopment) and did the 'green route'. This 10 miles route is know as the Silurian Way and culminates - after about 8 miles - with a trip to the Crag. Snow showers all day that reduced the visibility at the trig. Amazingly saw just a handful of other walkers all day and only 1 swarm of cyclists.

Great views over that sweep of south lakeland that is the preserve of the foresters. The trees look like a sea sitting below the surrounding cliffs of the Wainwrights (Coniston very big in the foreground, Langdale, Fairfield and Kentmere )- you can see why he drew his boundary where he did. Pass through the door out of the childrens play area, turn right, go past the farm and then follow the red posted trail on your left up the hill (750ft,3miles,2 hours). You can get a map in the information office. An extra arrow ! see pic

Bagged on a superb, mild and clear January morning, with mists swirling down below on the lakes themselves. The forest paths are designed more the service the forest than offer a direct route to the summit so this adds distance. The final few feet to the trig is an enjoyable scramble. Trig base getting nicely eroded.

Not the first time I've been here, but this time a lovely was walk ruined by 4x4 drivers careering along the forest roads. Unbelievably, they are allowed to do this. Go on a quiet day, enjoy the sculpture and the views.

A mild Easter Sunday so a good excuse to let the kids loose in Grizedale Forest with the wooden sculptures and let them scramble up to this trig with lovely views

Approached from the east, visitor centre. WARNING, parking charges apply. Visited to record FB number. The pillar was completed in July 1948 costing £16.5s.0d. In 1950 this marker was computed for triangulation as tertiary station SD47/T14 in the Barrow-in-Furness secondary block. Flush bracket S4428 was levelled for height in 1972. This trig point was last maintained by the OS in June 1976. Spider no longer has original OS centre cap, plugged with concrete or the like.
