Participants: Just me
Where: Grayrigg Forest, 494m/1,621', Sub-2k Marilyn, OS 97, SD 599 998
This is a fine looking hill when seen from the M6 travelling south from Penrith.....
I approached it from the junction of the A685 and the B6257 parking in a lay-by at the side of a rifle range.....
It was a completely grassy ascent, steeply at first to Grayrigg Pike but once on the ridge the views opened out. I was accompanied on the walk by the sound of motorway traffic.....
After the Pike, the hill got broader and I could see the summit trig in the distance.....
It was a fine summit to sit down for a while and admire the views, the southern Lake District hills to the north.....
the Howgills to the south (must go there one day).....
and a view over Kendal out to sea as well.....
A fine Marilyn and a pleasant walk, easily accomplished in under 3 hours car to car.

Another one I've not done yet.
Was up Grayrigg in June. Loved the novelty of looking down on the motorway.
