23rd March 2008 - The Dodds

Walk Details

Distance walked: 9.8 miles

Total ascent: 2552 ft

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

Time taken: 7 hrs

Route description: Dockray-Bracken How-Round How-Common Fell-Swineside Knott-Hart Side-Green Side-Stybarrow Dodd-Watson's Dodd-Great Dodd-Randerside-Old Coach Road-High Row-Dockray

A snowy walk on the eastern fells.

From Dockray I made my way uphill onto the fells beside the village, Bracken How and Round How and then across Watermillock Common to Swineside Knott. It was then onto Hart Side and Green Side to eventually arrive on the summit of Stybarrow Dodd. Easy walking across to Watson's Dodd and Great Dodd before heading back to Dockray by way of Randerside, the Old Coach Road and High Row.
