Top o’Selside

Walked on 16/05/2007

Start point: Dodgson Wood (NY 246 016)

Dodgson Wood – Low Parkamoor – Great Hill – Top o’ Selside – Low Parkamoor – Dodgson Wood

Distance: 2.6 miles     Total Ascent: 295 metres     Time Taken: 1 hour

Weather: Heavy rain. 12oC.

My waterproofs have been getting some use on the last few walks, that is for sure! Today was no exception as the rain never let up all morning for our short walk on the east side of Coniston Water up to Top o’ Selside. There were no views and the photos were snatched ones in the rain, but the lower sections of the walks through the ancient woods were pleasant enough. We were all glad of the fresh air, whatever the weather.
