High Hartsop Dodd

Walked on 05/02/2008

Start point: Cow Bridge (NY 402 134)

Cow Bridge – Brothers Water – Hartsop Hall – High Hartsop Dodd – Hartsop Hall – Brothers Water – Cow Bridge

Distance: 3.7 miles     Total Ascent: 420 metres    Time Taken: 2 hours

Weather: Grey, wind and rain. 5°C.

It was a bit grim this lunchtime when I set off for High Hartsop Dodd, in fact it was bucketing down with rain and there was a really strong wind so I ended up making it and ‘out and back’ walk, or rather an ‘up and down’ walk! It is a very steep climb straight up the front of High Hartsop Dodd and once on the top the wind was really wild and I was completely drenched. Lo and behold if the sky didn’t clear as soon as I made it back to valley level!

It's a steep one this - Angus is mootching about and Casper is rolling about by the looks of things.

It was wild on the summit of High Hartsop Dodd and we didn't hang around for long here.
