    Not the best summit but still a nice Wainwright. Worked quite hard to get here from Seathwaite Farm, as I was doing a route from Stuart Marshall's book taking in Grey Knotts, Brandreth, Great Gable, Green Gable and Base Brown. Superb outing!

      Grey Knotts is a Wainwright fell in the Lake District. It is commonly hiked from Honister, or along the ridge from Brandreth. The summit is on an outcrop of rocks, the views are beautiful down towards Buttermere.
