Grey Knotts at 697m (2,287ft) is the first summit above Honister Pass, a pleasant rocky summit giving fine views of the Gable group and across Borrowdale. From Honister Hause the top is about 1.5 km away and 345 m higher, a short but steep climb.

Summit conditions on Grey Knotts

On the summit on Tuesday 27 October: 11° to 5°C, gusts to 59 mph, 9.7 mm of rain forecast over the whole day, midnight to midnight.

Against our lines, Tuesday 27 October: wind, cold and cloud from the Met Office UKV 2 km model (daylight hours, as in the verdict above); rain from the summit line’s forecast (the whole day). A tile is large when this top is past its line.

Wind on the top

Past the line

59 mph, our estimate for the open top in the worst daylight hour

The Met Office 2 km model’s gust of 49 mph times our exposure factor of 1.2. The summit line above gives Open-Meteo’s highest gust for the whole day, 59 mph, before any exposure factor.

The line Our line: 25 mph, where our wind Scale begins its 25–35 band: “balance affected; buffeting on exposed ground”. MWIS (opens in new tab) describes what wind does to a walker across a range rather than at a line: from about 20–25 mph it starts to affect your balance.

Estimated: it is not calibrated against summit readings, and the two forecasts can disagree by more than a band.

Rain, and the becks

Past the line

9.7 mm of rain over the whole day, midnight to midnight

The same figure as the summit line above and the 7-day forecast.

The line Our line: 6 mm in the day, where our scorer counts a day as soaking. We read rainfall, never river levels: becks in spate.

Open-Meteo’s forecast. It says nothing about rain already in the ground.

Also checked cold: feels like 1 °C, no ice or snow forecast; cloud: a clear-top reading of 47 out of 100, over our in-cloud line of 20. Under a line is not the same as fine: it means only that these figures are under the lines we use.

Not in these tiles Lightning, river levels, snow or ice already lying, and the ground under your feet. A tile cannot see them, so an empty space here never means they are absent.

Is Grey Knotts a hard walk?

From Honister it is short but steep: the pass starts you high, and the line between the top and the slate mine is about 1.5 km with 345 m of height, an average gradient of about 22%. All three of our routes over it use that line as the way down. The top is a jumble of rocky knolls, boggy on its western side, with no single obvious summit among them.

The eastern side is the part to respect: steep crags fall toward Gillercombe, and the ground changes character abruptly. Our Brandreth round is 9.3 km with 629 m of ascent with navigation graded hard; the Great Gable day from Honister is 9.6 km and 721 m, graded severe for steepness and navigation.

Parking & buses for Grey Knotts

Parking

Route starts first, then the car parks nearest the summit, which are not always a way up.

Honister (NT, paid) — 0.1 km from the start of Great Gable from Honister Slate Mine (straight line)

Walking base for Great Gable, Green Gable, Brandreth and Grey Knotts — the 'Great Gable from Honister Slate Mine' route starts 61 m away. Also serves 'Haystacks'. Paid National Trust car park - the prices we used to show here came from an aggregator rather than the Trust, so we no longer publish a figure; check the machine on arrival, and members should bring their card (National Trust car-park list, checked August 2026). The machine takes cards, and National Trust members park free on production of their membership card (Lee McCoy, local observation, recorded 12 August 2026).

Honister Pass (paid, slate mine) — at the start of Haystacks and Black Star Brandreth and others

Paid parking at the top of the pass — Dale Head, Fleetwith Pike, Grey Knotts with minimal ascent. This is the slate mine's own car park, the WESTERN one; the National Trust car park 170 m east is a separate one. Fees: Day parking GBP 5 per day for visitors; free for all Honister activity guests (honister.com/your-visit/). Overnight parking GBP 15 a night in the large bottom car park, open to campervans, motorhomes and vans, no tent camping, no facilities, no electric hook-ups; book online or pay by QR code on arrival and display confirmation on the dashboard (honister.com/your-visit/overnight-parking) (operator, checked August 2026). You pay by card, inside the building, not at a machine in the car park. The posted opening is 9am but it is often later; the mine is content for you to arrive before it and pay on the way out, and the car park is covered by cameras (Lee McCoy, local observation, recorded 12 August 2026). Pay and display (LDNPA, checked August 2026).

Typically full before 10:00 on fine weekends, Apr-Oct — Lee McCoy, local observation, 9 August 2026.

2 more places to park near Grey Knotts

Seathwaite Farm, Borrowdale (farm field, paid) — 1.8 km from summit (straight line)

The farm’s own field, signed off the lane — £5 all day, £10 overnight, no booking needed (the farm’s own page, read 21 September 2026; its notice is still headed 2025). A different place from the free verge on the same lane, and the reason not to race for a verge space. The farm opened it to ease the parking problems in the busy period.

Seathwaite Farm, Borrowdale (free verge) — 1.9 km from summit (straight line)

Free verge parking on the Seathwaite lane — the honeypot start for the Scafells, Great Gable and Glaramara. It fills early; the farm’s own field just down the lane takes the pressure off, and the lane needs to stay clear for residents, farm traffic and emergency vehicles.

Typically full before 09:00 on fine weekends, Apr-Oct — Lee McCoy, local observation, 9 August 2026.

Hazards on Grey Knotts

Hazard & Incident Information for Grey Knotts

Checked by Lee McCoy, 14 June 2026. Draws on published material from Keswick Mountain Rescue Team. Editorial background, not a live callout feed.

Hazard: Moderate

A rocky, knoll-topped fell above Honister, gentle and boggy on its western side but rugged on the east, where steep crags — Raven Crag (Gillercombe Buttress) — fall into the deep bowl of Gillercomb above Seathwaite. The steep, loose, rocky descent to Borrowdale has sudden drop-offs, the twin rocky summit knolls and boggy plateau need care in mist, and old graphite mine workings lie on the Seathwaite approach. Keswick Mountain Rescue Team covers this ground.

Eastern crags above Gillercomb (Raven Crag): The eastern (Borrowdale) side is all crag — Raven Crag / Gillercombe Buttress — dropping into Gillercomb. The steep, rocky, loose descent toward Seathwaite has sudden drop-offs. Keep back from the eastern edge in cloud, and take the steep descent slowly and on the correct line.
Rocky knoll summit & navigation: The top is a cluster of rocky knolls, easy to confuse in mist, on a boggy plateau shared with Brandreth. Take a compass bearing to pick the right summit and the right way off.
Old graphite mine workings (Seathwaite side): Disused graphite mine workings lie on the Seathwaite approach. Keep clear of openings and spoil, and don't explore old levels.

Who should attempt this fell: From Honister Grey Knotts is a short walk, but its eastern side is steep and crag-bound above Gillercomb — keep back from the edge and take the rocky, loose Seathwaite descent carefully on the right line. Navigate the knolly summit and boggy plateau by compass in cloud (the old fence helps), keep clear of the old mine workings, and treat the steep ground as full winter terrain when iced.

What to watch for: Walkers straying onto the eastern crags or the steep loose Seathwaite descent · Navigation errors among the rocky knolls and on the boggy plateau in cloud · Slips on the steep, rocky, loose Borrowdale-side ground · Mishaps around the old graphite mine workings

Safety: Always check current conditions, carry proper navigation equipment, and seek qualified instruction before heading onto the fells. In an emergency, call 999, ask for Police, then Mountain Rescue.

Navigating in cloud

Care needed

Of the three things our terrain model measures, the highest reading here is the amount of near-level ground around the summit. Take care in poor visibility — carry map and compass, and know how to use them.

In winter — snow, whiteout, cornices, buried features — every top demands full winter navigation skills whatever its band, and a broad, gentle summit can be the worst place of all. See walking in bad weather and the navigation guide.

How Grey Knotts compares with all 214: the Clag Index (experimental).

If you need Mountain Rescue

Dial 999 or 112 and ask for the Police, then Mountain Rescue.

Before you call, have ready: where you are (a grid reference if you can – the OS Locate app shows yours on your phone), what has happened, how many of you there are, and your mobile number.

Then stay where you are until the rescue team contacts you.

If you cannot make a voice call because of a hearing or speech impairment, emergency SMS works only if you have registered first: text “register” to 999.

Great Gable from Honister Slate Mine

Download GPX Planned route · not yet walked

Warnings: The summit plateau in cloud. Gable’s top is a broad sea of boulders with crags on several sides and no handrails. Take a bearing off the summit and follow it precisely — this is where the callouts start. Do not drift towards the Napes. The southern face is a climbers’ playground of crags and gullies, not a walkers’ descent. The Windy Gap descent is loose and steep. Take it slowly, especially in the wet. The route rounds the top of Gable Crag, with steep ground falling away on the Ennerdale/north side. Keep back from the edge, particularly in cloud or wind.

Download GPX Walked by Lee, April 2026

Picked for its light in: February A winter pick assumes the tops are clear of snow and ice on the day, or that you carry winter kit and know how to use it.

Warnings: The summit area of Haystacks is a maze of rocky knolls, tarns and boggy hollows — one of the most complex summit plateaux in Lakeland. In cloud it is very easy to lose the path and end up above steep crags. Do not attempt the summit in poor visibility unless you are a confident navigator with map and compass.

Sunrise and sunset on Grey Knotts

Grey Knotts sits close to the flat-horizon case. Even on its longest wait of the modelled year (on 1 December) first light is only 10 minutes after almanac sunrise, so the published sunrise time is a fair guide here.

Midsummer. The filled shape is the skyline as seen from the summit; the line is the sun’s path. Where they meet is first light — everything left of that point is the wait.

Times for 2026, in Lakeland clock time (GMT in winter, BST in summer) — and model outputs rather than observations.
	First light	Almanac sunrise	Difference
Midsummer	04:34 BST ±5.0 min	04:37	-3 min
Equinox	06:17 GMT ±5.0 min	06:16	+1 min
Midwinter	08:40 GMT ±5.0 min	08:33	+7 min

A low, open northern horizon — the ground falls away northwards (mean 0.15°).

Last light — when the sun leaves Grey Knotts

Grey Knotts loses the sun early. Its earliest evening of the modelled year falls at midwinter, when last light is 20 minutes before almanac sunset — 15:30 against 15:50. The sun goes down to the south-west from here (224.5°), and the skyline on that bearing stands at 1.8°.

The evening of the same three days. A negative difference means a ridge takes the sun before the valley loses it.
	Last light	Almanac sunset	Difference
Midsummer	21:57 BST ±5.0 min	21:53	+4 min
Equinox	18:32 GMT ±5.0 min	18:27	+5 min
Midwinter	15:30 GMT ±5.0 min	15:50	-20 min

These are daylight figures, not a descent plan: the light goes on fading for a good while after the sun leaves, and going down in it is a decision about your own ground and party, not about this table.

How the skyline, light and sightlines are computed

Computed, not photographed. First light is the first minute the sun’s upper limb clears this summit’s own skyline and last light the last minute it is still clear of it, both solved against the 360° horizon profile behind The View from Grey Knotts. Almanac sunrise and sunset are the flat-horizon convention. Every time carries a ± band from the 30 m elevation model — it smooths arêtes and cornices, so nothing here claims better than five minutes.

Sightlines from the Copernicus GLO-30 elevation model, which is a surface model: each 30 m cell holds the top of whatever stands there, trees and buildings included, rather than bare ground. Corrected for the Earth’s curvature and average atmospheric refraction. “Distant” sightlines and any over 100 km depend on exceptionally clear air. Modelled from Copernicus GLO-30 open elevation data — a guide to the view, not a guarantee of any single one.
