Rest Dodd

Walked on 14/03/2008

Start point: Hartsop (NY 410 130)

Hartsop – Brock Crags – Satura Crag – The Nab – Rest Dodd  – The Knott – Hayeswater – Hartsop

Distance: 8.9 miles     Total Ascent: 1178 metres     Time Taken: 3 hours 30 minutes

Weather: Overcast with some sunny spells. 9ºC.

It was a bit of an unplanned walk today; I didn’t really know where I was going until I got there and I only ended up at Hartsop due to roadworks at Troutbeck ‘forcing’ me over Kirkstone Pass rather than sitting in a lengthy queue. As it turned out, I was glad I went over that way as there were some decent sunny spells and still a bit of lingering snow even though it was quite warm – all in all a rather pleasant days walking.
