TP2007 - Carron Crag
Logged Visits:
Beautiful day & delicious lunch spot in the sunshine with an all-round view.
Trig nicely situated on rocky outcrop - excellent panoramic views
Camping in Coniston, so able to walk from the tent. Not as hard to find as the map suggested, although the compass was useful. 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.
Stunning views. Nice walk up from visitor centre on red route.
Parked at grizedale visitor centre followed red trail trig was bathed in sunlight today all fells magnificent, trig is set on a rocky outcrop Slight damage to top concrete plug trees seem like a sea from here.
Great walk up through forest.
Birketts CLF walk S/OUT2 Parked in the Dodgson Wood Car Park > Low Parkamoor > Park Crags > Heald Brow Pasture > CARRON CRAG Large rocky summit surrounded with bracken and heather tig point (S4428) stands on the very top OS data SD 32527.125 94334.844 @ 314.428m > Mustard Hill > Low Parkamoor > CP
Nice walk up to trig From Grizedale Forest Park.
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.
Detour during cycle ride in Grizedale Forest.Excellent views over towards Coniston Old Man,Swirl How and Wetherlam.
Excellent walk up through the forest following the red route Mrs B came along and enjoyed the walk and views from the summit, would have given this one ten but for the parking charges and £1 for the pathetic route pamphlet
Pillar in good condition, cement plug. Walked up through the forest. Good view of South Lakeland
followed the red route from the play area as below scant consolation for earlier failure in the coniston old man area.
Easy walk through forest.
Pleasant walk through the forest, follow the red route you can't go wrong.
Bagged as a Birkett - great list of 1,000'+ lakeland Hills
Bagged as a Birkett - great list of 1,000'+ lakeland Hills
Good spot to rest in trees below. Sculptures on the way.Letterboxes nearby
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.
Superb views and a nice trig whilst out letterboxing.Great fun dodging the mountain bikes.
Retrospective log
old log
conc plug; screed broken but pillar undamaged - fine rocky summit [(no view - rain]
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.
Pleasant walk through the forest on waymarked path.
With Marion, Joseph and Ben.
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.
Partly white pillar on rocky summit of Carron Crag near forest fire observation cabin. Quick evening ascent from 'Theatre in Forest' carpark.
