This is the end of Bleacrag Moss
On May 4th 2007
All three of my children and I climbed
Grange Fell
Including Kings How and Brund Fell
Walking 4.62km and ascending 400m
The weather today was very, very hot with hardly a cloud in the sky.
This is the end of Bleacrag Moss
Looking back to Troutdale Cottage
Almost at the top of Kings How, this is a real beauty spot and it gives you a real idea
why the royalty loved this place so much.
Derwent water with the whole Skiddaw range beyond,
surely one of the best scenes anywhere in the lakes
The little hamlet of Grange
The plaque gives info on the fell.
Sorry that kerenza is in the way of some of it..
The summit of Kings How
Behind me is Maiden Moor, and Cat Bells to the right
Castle Crag
Looking to Rosthwaite
OK ready for a rant?? Grange Fell has two summits, Kings How and Brund Fell, but
it's only classed as one AW fell.
Now that's fair enough but look at the distance from KH to BF,
and this picture doesn't tell you how much you drop down.
So what you say, well the next day we did a Glaramara circuit, where we had a brilliant view of Eagle Crag and Sergeants Crag.
Tell me what the difference is, cause these are two tops?

Coming off Kings How.
My wifes little dog had run out of steam and was being carried by Kimi
I decided to have a climb up here which actually looks a lot harder than it is.
Taken from the summit or Grange Fell (Brund Fell)
Still very pleased and what a picture!

This was the completion of the Central Fells for me.. not a time for drinking though
We took the route off heading towards Rosthwaite
Very steep in places.. but a nice walk back.
