14th May 2008 Castle
Crag and Lanthwaite Hill
The first route on the fourth day of a week in the North
Western Fells of the Lake District. We based ourselves in Lorton in the campsite
of The Wheatsheaf Inn, a convenient location to reach all 29 of these hills.
Castle Crag is a lone fell that we went
for this morning. To get the references I needed it meant that I would take an
unusual route up this popular crag. We parked in Grange and headed through Peace
How, past Hollows farm, following the river to the quarries and caves on the
Rosthwaite side before joining the main route to the top.
