14th September 2008 - A Glenridding Round

Walk Details

Distance walked: 8.7 miles

Total ascent: 3412 ft

OS map used: OL5 - The English Lakes, North-eastern area

Time taken: 6.5 hrs

Route description: Glenridding-Greenside Road-The Rake-Glenridding Dodd-Heron Pike-Sheffield Pike-Green Side-Stybarrow Dodd-Raise-Keppel Cove-Greenside Road-Glenridding

I had planned to walk to Helvellyn on this walk but I decided against when the weather deteriorated.

From Glenridding I walked up the Greenside Road to climb The Rake to the summit of Glenridding Dodd. I then walked over the summits of Sheffield Pike, Green Side, Stybarrow Dodd and Raise before returning to Glenridding.
