Brandreth and Grey Knotts

A climb from Honister up a couple of fells of Brandreth and Grey Knotts (with a slight detour towards Hay stacks.

Grey Knotts reaches a height of 697 metres (2287 feet) and is part of a ridge which ascends from the woodland behind Seatoller and continues south-west and then south for four kilometres to Great Gable. The fell's name really only applies to the summit rocks, but has been adopted for the entire fell with the high ground in this area, locally known as Seatoller Fell. 

Views include the Buttermere valley to the north west, a glimpse of Ennerdale lake, and also back towards the path to Watendlath climbed yesterday.

After a short bus ride, my walk today started from the village of Rosthwaite , in the Borrowdale Valley. I climbed the low fells up to across to Watendlath before following the route of Watendlath Beck to Ashness Bridge and then on to Keswick.
