Caudale Moor

Walked on 06/01/2015

Start Point: Caudale Bridge (NY 402 115)

Caudale Bridge – Caudale Quarry – Caudale Moor – Hartsop Dodd – Kirkstonefoot – Caudale Bridge

Distance: 3.9 miles     Total Ascent: 625 metres     Time Taken: 2 hours 15 minutes     Start Time: 09:45

Weather: Wet and windy (mostly), 4°C

The wind did howl and the rain did pour this morning for our walk to Caudale Moor. I had intended to go further on this walk but it was so wet and cold I’d had enough after I reached Hartsop Dodd. I think Fletcher came of age today with his first taste of some proper fell weather!

Looking to Middle Dodd - up until this point it had been absolutely chucking it down but the sky here shows the promise of a decent morning...perhaps.

Looking down the strange deep groove that is a feature of this climb.

Kirkstone Pass and Red Screes, walking in a blizzard now.

Looking to Hartsop Dodd with a glimpse of Brothers Water and Ullswater into Patterdale.

The view from Caudale Head.

Damp dogs on Stony Cove Pike, the summit of Caudale Moor. I think Fletcher has found a good hiding place from the wind and rain behind Dougal.

Heading for Hartsop Dodd, just follow the wall.

Twa dogs at the summit of Hartsop Dodd (full of cheery smiles too!), the old post marking the summit.

Brothers Water from the steeper than steep way down from Hartsop Dodd and the only bit of sunshine to be seen all day.
