Top o’ Selside

Walked on 31/10/2007

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: Overcast. 15oC.

This morning it was surprisingly warm for the time of year, but with that went the low cloud and general dullness. On the way up the east side of Coniston, I stopped to have a look at a metal statue that I have seen a few times peeping over the wall, but have never been close to. The autumn colours are really showing now, especially when the sun shines.
