Logged whilst walking the Coldale Horseshoe with my son and his dog, Penny. A tough, ten mile hike with eight peaks, five being Wainwright's and two of them with trig points. Also a rewarding walk that included some ridge walking, scrambling and amazing views. That said, the cloud cover was reasonably low and so on the highest peaks, including this one, the views were restricted. No flush bracket and couldn't determine where it would have been fixed to the pillar. Some damage/erosion to the top and the centre for the spider is missing.

Another escape to the north... beautiful weather and perfect for a day on the fells. Take a glorious route from the dale to Outerside then on to Sail. End on the glorious wide grassy lands of Grasmoor. Stunning glacial valleys, peaks and a platinum sea as the Solway draws in evening cloud. One of the most stunning walks that the Lakes can offer. Highest trig of the year so far.

Walked an AC Coledale Horseshoe from Braithwaite. Conditions were challenging above 650 metres with clag, snow and a ferocious wind. I only met one other person on Grisedale Pike who was retreating down to Whinlatter. Didn't linger too long on Crag Hill since highest summit on the round and the worst spot for all elements mentioned. Tethered the dog down. I have to gift Il Crag, as its known, to the silver haired foxes who have come out of retirement and working the twilight shift at the supermarkets. Bless them.

On a five day walking holiday with friends Steve, Andy and Barry. Started off from Braithwaite and walked the 'horseshoe' to Crag Hill, hard work but well worth it for the views. The trig is on a surprisingly flat plateau. The evening beer and beef goulash in Keswick's Dog and Gun went down well.

Just reading the other logs, I hadn't realised the pillar's previous history of disrepair. I was paying more attention to staying upright in the wind on the summit and the pillar seemed perfectly ordinary. I noticed the lack of a flush bracket, a missing cap and some concrete missing from around the spider. Looks like a good repair job to me.

Last visited 7 years ago and it is fair to say that neither me or the pillar are in as good a shape as we were back then. I had puffed my way up from Rannerdale via Whiteless Pike and Wandope. The pillar was upright but truncated and in a sorry state. Today the weather was superlative, the views stupendous; it doesn't get any better than this.

Top in mist, would've been clear if I'd have been half an hour later. Nice to see back upright, seems solid enough. Plenty of walkers, beautiful sunny morning.

Parked in forest car park at NY214244. Up through forest tracks and joined mapped hill paths at NY211228. Followed mapped paths via Grizedale Pike. Unfortunately this stone built secondary station pillar is becoming worse for wear. Several stones out from rear of pillar. Completed 21st April 1950 costing £36.11s.0d. Spider retains original OS centre cap with shallow engraved letters. Flush bracket faces 135° (SE). Vented through NW sight hole. 360° to many other Lakeland Fells and the Kirkcudbrightshire coastline.

A day walking the Coledale Round with my 12yr old son. This hill has two names, Crag Hill on newer OS maps, Eel Crag on older maps an in Wainwright's listings. Fine views across to The Pennines and The Solway.

Done as an extension to a walk to Causey Pike with decent via the scree path on Eel Crag which was interesting to say the least! Good views from the trig. Note: Revisited 06/11/11,trig now quite badly damaged with large amounts of the stones at the base of the NE facing corner now missing,apparently strewn around the area of the trig itself.

Did this as part of the Coledale Horseshoe on a very warm day. Cracking views and very few people about. During April 2007, I'd walked up the Rigg Beck valley below here and always wondered what it was like up here - fantastic. The trig pillar is missing a few stones.

Crag Hill on the OS maps but if you read Wainwrights guide he refers to it as being Eel Crag. You can reach this trig point on the circular Coledale Round walk. You climb up from Braithwaite over Grisedale Pike or take the easier miners path via Force Crag mine.
