I had originally planned to tick Grange Fell and Culkin Rigg on my way home from a few days in Snowdonia, but with the weather closing in I elected to climb just Grange Fell this day.
As others have described, there is good parking under trees at NY253815, a situation helped by the seemingly ongoing road closure. From here the ascent up the zig zag track is simple, the only slightly tricky part (easy enough with a GPS) being finding one's way though the trees that have now overgrown the firebreaks. The trig point stands in the middle of a small clearing in the forestry plantation.
I got back to my car just in time to avoid the cats and dogs that began to fall from the leaden sky.
