23rd July 2008 An evening on
Grange Fell and Great Crag.
I was hoping that we would enjoy the
evening sun on a summers walk over two of the Central Fells. It was not to be.
The sun only appeared briefly as we left Rosthwaite in Borrowdale and headed up
towards Grange Fell. Consequently the photographs are not of the highest quality
for which I apologise. We still enjoyed a very pleasant walk though.

Leaving Borrowdale behind we headed up the Watendlath
Path.

Harebells in bloom.

Evening light in Borrowdale form the slopes of Brund Fell. |

Weak sun in Great Crag.
|
|
Heather and rocks on Grange Fell.
|
|
The boggy enclosures on our way to Great Crag. Bog
Asphodel in profusion.
|
|
The Asphodel is well suited to the peaty wet areas of
the upland fells.

|
The summit of Great Crag. A hazy Great Gable on the
extreme right of the photograph.

|
Ullscarf on the skyline over a serene Dock Tarn.
|
|
The unusual wall that crosses Willygrass Gill.
|
|
The light was now fading as we headed off the hill.
Still great views of Eagle and Sergeants Crags.
|
|
The welcoming lights of the Langstrath Inn as we head
back to the car at Rosthwaite.
