    Hiking

    Grisedale Tarn is in an atmospheric setting high in the mountains at the head of three valleys. According to folklore, a battle was fought in 945AD between the Saxon King Edmund and Celtic King Dunmail. Dunmail was killed and his crown was taken up to the carn and thrown into the water.

    Hiking

    The Grisedale Tarn represents mountain pass between Grasmere and Patterdale.

    Here walkers meet each other and have one to choose one route out of three:

    1) Valley route (look at my track record). It's recommended if the weather is bad or stormy.

    Then no. 2 + 3 are too dangerous.

    2) St. Sunday-route

    3) Helvelyn route

    No. 2 + 3 are all-time favorites in the hole Lake District National Park. They promise great views and ridge walks.

    The "mountain lake" Grisedale Tarn represents the pass between Grasmere and Patterdale.
