Stybarrow Dodd

Wednesday, 3rd May

Wanted to finish the Dodd's, which I started a couple of months ago. Thought I'd throw in Hart Side, which is near, as well so ended up walking over Belle Knott. Wonderful views over Ullswater and up into Simon's Nick and the Glencoyne Valley. A very long way though - couldn't believe how near I was to Watson's dodd, which I had climbed from Matterdale Common before. Got to Hart Side and then simply put head down and power-walked to Stybarrow - took me forty minutes to reach the summit.
