Hartsop Dodd

Walked on 12/01/2006

Start point: Hartsop (NY 410 130)

Hartsop – Hartsop Dodd (447) – Caudale Moor (Stony Cove Pike) – Threshthwaite Mouth – Threshthwaite Cove – Pasture Bottom – Hartsop

Distance: 6 miles     Total Ascent: 1000 metres     Time Taken: 2 hours 40 minutes

Weather: Wind and rain. 4°C

From the Western fells yesterday to the Far Eastern fells today and a shorter walk. The climb from Hartsop to Hartsop Dodd is severe, but at least you gain height quickly! The clouds came down along with the rain to obliterate the view for most of the walk. Still, it was nice to be out with a small landmark for Angus in his Wainwright fell-bagging quest.

01 Hartsop Dodd

12.01.06-001

Shapely Hartsop Dodd - the way up was following the wall from the left to its highest point and then straight up the ridge to the summit.

12.01.06-004

Crossing Goldrill Beck.

12.01.06-007

The approach to Hartsop Dodd.

12.01.06-011

Patterdale from the ascent. Ullswater is in the distance, the village below is Hartsop.

12.01.06-012

Rest Dodd, The Knott and Gray Crag with Hayeswater Gill running between them.

12.01.06-014

Brothers Water with the Hartsop above How ridge behind.

12.01.06-015

Dovedale with a low cloud ceiling.

12.01.06-018

Looking across to Brock Crags with the knobbles of Angletarn Pikes behind.

12.01.06-024

The wind drops - I can hear the water in the beck below and the distant sound of a dog barking.

12.01.06-034

Into the mist, wind and rain - so bad it stings your eyes and hurts your face. The wooden post marks the summit of Hartsop Dodd and this is Wainwright number 200 for Angus.

12.01.06-040

It was icy cold on Caudale Moor - the wind still howling.

12.01.06-044

The blown drizzle immediately turned to ice on the grass.

12.01.06-049

Crossing a beck at Pasture Bottom.

12.01.06-056

Evidence of glaciers - the rock debris left behind and drumlins in the distance.

12.01.06-060

Remains of old mine workings.

12.01.06-076

A bit wet now, Angus.

12.01.06-078

Looking back to Gray Crag.
