Glenridding Dodd

Walked on 17/09/2012

Start point: Stybarrow Crag, Glenridding (NY 387 179)

Glenridding Dodd from Stybarrow Crag

Distance: 1.9 miles     Total Ascent: 321 metres    Time Taken: 1 hour     Start Time: 09:50

Weather: Windy with frequent showers. 12°C

Today didn’t promise too much weather wise but I thought I came off quite lightly with it for a straight out and back climb to Glenridding Dodd this morning. The initial climb this way is sylvan and steep but offers a relatively quick way to reach the top.

...but 20 minutes later it was looking a little different over Ullswater.

The walker below gave me a cheery wave, here looking to Birkhouse Moor and Catstycam.
